Subject:   4.2 Release isa_probe_children hang at boot

I saw three messages in the archives and have seen references to at
least two other folks who are having Gigabyte BX problems related to a boot
hang with 4.2 and a Gigabyte 6BXU motherboard. Same thing is happening to
me now, but it seems to be directly related to a Barracuda SE SCSI disk!

I apologize if this has been discussed/solved previously, but I can't find any
more in the archives about it and I'm at a dead end now.

The 6BXU has an onboard Adaptec 7890/91, currently I have one Seagate ST39173N
9 gig SE Ultra Barracuda hanging off it. 20MB/s jobby. I have 4.2 Rel installed
from CD on a Quantum 6.4 Fireball IDE and all is well without the Barracuda in
play on the generic kernel. Take the drive off the cable or disable the onboard
SCSI in the bios and it boots up and acts normal. Reenable the Barracuda and no
matter what is enabled/disabled in the boot config or the MB or SCSI bios and
it hangs at isa_probe_children in boot -v. The marked out devs are displayed as
disabled and then it hangs at isa_probe_children, for at least an hour, haven't
tried longer yet.

Is this issue currently under investigation? Any fixes or workarounds known?

I did have this disk online and in use under 3.51 Rel as a data drive, but
after upgrading via CD to 4.2 (I had to remove it for the install, same hang)
no matter what I do I can't boot the box up past that isa_probe_children point.

I'm running the same MB on a 3.3 box (I know, I need to upgrade, that's what
THIS box is for) with both LVD and SE drives without problems, well none that
are related to FBSD anyway :)

Are there any other lists to which this should also be posted?


Here's the vitals with SCSI disabled on the MB to get to dmesg and a few
comments where appllicable:

Then, ta da:

isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices

That's the point it hangs when the Barracuda is active on the SE SCSI bus. Good
termination, worked fine on 3.51 Rel.

I've been hammering at this for about 8 hours+ now and still can't get past the
isa_probe_children with the Barracuda active.

I'm almost ready to backdate to 3.51, but I'd _hate_ to do that.
