The following reply was made to PR misc/18201; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Lazaro D. Salem" <salem@statoil.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, salem@statoil.com, lazaro@online.no Cc: Subject: Re: misc/18201: Freeze at boot time when trying to upgrade a running i386 from 3.3- RELEASE to 4.0 RELEASE Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 16:20:09 +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 the PR: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26736 The IRQ peculiarity mentioned here has nothing to do with the freeze. 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.
