Hmm. Maybe the hooks to enable/disable PCI interrupt sources aren't working? If they don't, then teh first PCI interrupt you get will result in teh machine being pounded with an infinite number of PCI interrupts and effectively halting the machine. The code in question to check are the cia_enable_intr() and cia_disable_intr() in sys/alpha/pci/cia.c. FWIW, I still use an old loader from before the PnP stuff on my alpha. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
