Do any one of our committers who might have messing in that > area of the system recently have any ideas? re: i think it crashed. why does it take a good 30sec at least to probe the IDE hardware? i have ATAPI in the kernel, except for that, the boot squence would be blazing fast. if i boot and someone walks past the computer i usually get asked: "it locked up?" i don't see anything in LINT to shorten the time it takes to probe the IDE devices, any suggestions? -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
