This is with -current.
I've been getting crashes during boot with the new ppbus stuff and lpt0
enabled.
It detects the parallel port just fine, but further on in the boot
sequence the system gets an RTC error and then it just locks up
completely... it doesn't even get past the kernel config ( never gets
to execing init ).
I was able to solve the problem by commenting out most of the probe code
in i386/isa/ppc.c, as shown below. I don't know which port in the probe
code is causing the problem, but something in there is blowing up my
systems.
Maybe the probe code should be a little more conservative, with a
kernel config option to be less conservative ????
