Subject:   RocketPort PCI freezes on startup

I'm running -STABLE from Oct 5th and am having problems with a RocketPort
8-port PCI serial card.  I thought everything was going great until I
rebooted a few times and found it locking up during the hardware probing on
the rp driver.  FreeBSD finds the card and shows the correct hardware
information but freezes right after it prints the information.  This happens
perhaps in 1 out of 5 bootups.

I've tried moving the PCI card around, forcing specific IRQs, things of that
nature but all have proven to be unsuccessful.  I have also tried the driver
back-ported from -CURRENT from http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/rp.tgz
but it just froze the machine when kldloading.

The machine is a Intel 810EAL mobo with a 3ware 6200 RAID card, onboard
Intel NIC and  extra PCI NIC (DEC/Intel 21143).

Has anyone else seen something similar to this?  I find it very odd that it
only happens during some bootups, that worries me.  Any insight is much
appreciated, thanks!
