FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #1: Mon Aug 20 16:42:08 BST 2007
>Description:
I have a Supermicro H8DAR-T based server, that was happily 
running 6-stable from last year sometime. I swapped it out and
have been trying to get -CURRENT installed on it but it hangs
solid as soon as you configure the bge0 interface. The bge1
interface will work occasionally tho. To try and rule out a 
hardware fault I booted an AMD64-6.0RC1 cd that I had, which 
had no problems at all with the interface:

But the current snapshot from June, and from todays source
hangs solid as soon as you try to set up the bge0 interface.

http://www.epcdirect.com/bootlog/currentboot.txt

As you can see, it hangs solid at "Setting hostname".

I've also removed the 3ware card "just in case" but it made
no difference. Latest BIOS too. I found some references to
a similar problem with bge recently too:

>How-To-Repeat:
Install CURRENT on a Supermicro, IBM or HP machine with this card and use the interface. Tested on i386 and AMD64 on Supermicro hardware here.
>Fix:
6-STABLE does not have the issue.
