This affects only HTT-enabled P4 machines. Recent -CURRENT
builds (~from about 1--2 weeks ago) lock up at boot time,
inside /etc/rc.d/initrandom at this point:
57 ( ps -fauxww; sysctl -a; date; df -ib; dmesg;
ps -fauxww; ) \
58 | dd of=3D/dev/random bs=3D8k 2>/dev/null
This is a hard lockup and requires a reset. The subsequent
boot tends to complete without a lockup, and then the behaviour
of the box is normal.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
