The following reply was made to PR i386/26736; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Lazaro D. Salem" <salem@statoil.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, lazaro@online.no, salem@statoil.com Cc: Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@uunet.co.za> Subject: Re: i386/26736: System freeze booting from (i386) 4.3 floppies on HP Vectra VL 6/233 Series 7 Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 16:18:46 +0200 A followup to a related PR has been submitted with a work around this problem See: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26686 also related is http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18201 The IRQ peculiarity mentioned here has nothing to do with the freeze. Neither does the USB or Power management intrinsic to the HP/Vectra. It has been suggested the culprit is the ex driver probing an installed the NE2000 NIC. Disabling the NE2000 did not not help. Physically removing the NE2000 did help and the boot completed without problems. If the ex driver is the culprit, why cannot we disabled at the kernel configuration stage? This was possible to do in the 3.x releases, but is not possible to do with the 4.x releases.
