Hi Folks,

Anyone else having issues on the Beaglebone Black when disabling
WITNESS ? This is on 11.0-CURRENT, r261200. I saw it a few weeks
ago, as well, but got busy and decided to wait for the snapshots
and try again.

On mine, it gets as far as this line, and waits a few tens of seconds:

ustorage_fs0: <USB Mass Storage Interface> on usbus0

And then prints this:

random: unblocking device.


Followed by absolutely nothing until I reboot. On a WITNESS
enabled kernel, it then proceeds to warn me about WITNESS and 
performance, before going on to mount the root file system, and
bring up user space:

WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance.
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mmcsd0s2a [rw,noatime]...


Curiously, it looks like the non-WITNESS kernel is also not
finding the onboard MMC, so that might be relevant. In my
case, I don't actually use it, so if it doesn't see it, it's
not an issue for me

Anyone know what I'm not doing right ? I -thought- all I had
to do to turn WITNESS off was comment out the options line
in my conf file, and I'm sure it worked on the BBW a year or
so back.

I've attached the two dmesg outputs as well as the conf
used, but as I say, it's stock, with the exception of
WITNESS being turned off.

PS, About a year ago, we mentioned IEEE1588 and the cpsw driver,
a quick grep through /usr/src/sys showed the following drivers
had the "IEEE1588" string in them:

e1000 (/dev/e1000/*.h)
IXGBE (/dev/ixgbe/*)
NLM (/dev/mipd/nlm/board.[cv]

No idea how functional each one is, but if anyone was thinking
about adding 1588 support to the cpsw, might be useful - Unfortunately
it's a little beyond my skillset
