Mounting a floppy, or accessing it via dd(1) causes a system hang, (accompanied by a bios beep from the dpt card as though it is being rebooted as well as the screen going dark). I have quite a number of other machines which are dells which are not displaying this behavior, the only 2 things that I have been able to discover as a parallel is the PM3334UW cards in all 3 of them, as well as so far having only tested it on dual capable motherboards. I have attempted hardware replacement of floppy drives (when I originally thought I just had a bad floppy), booting SMP or UP kernels, as well as makeing sure I have the most recent firmware on all the involved boards... there is also a little interesting tidbit in the dmesg from the machines that they all have in common: fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 16 of 16-31 (No status) So far, testing includes machines sup'd Sept 6th source (broken) all through Sept 15. I know that it worked back (way back) in early Aug. Rest of dmesg can be found at http://www.telemere.net/~visigoth/dmesg.txt >How-To-Repeat: On any of MY dell machines with a DPT PM3334UW controller in them, build a new kernel and try to dd(1) or mount the floppy file system... >Fix: I wish ;) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
