I can help testing, but btx is way out of > my league. interesting, so this is the same problem i was seeing on the Asus/amd machines here... the commit log for 1.47 mention interrupt issues which are consistent with the random hangs or errors that I see while booting over the network. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.S.diff?r1=1.46;r2=1.47 I wonder if the hangs are related to interrupts coming in at the wrong time. I also wonder whether the same symptoms might also affect the standard loader and not just pxeloader, in which case the problem would be slightly more serious. I am afraid my ability to debug the problem isn't going much beyond this... cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
