For what its worth, I'm seeing the same thing on a 2.6.13-rc5 machine with sata_nv on an x86_64 machine. I can get around it by using noapic. I initially assumed it was some ACPI or IRQ issue, but my box hangs at the exact same place, right after announcing the first device.
Try booting with noapic. -Martin * Jesse Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [050808 13:21]: > I recently tried to upgrade an ICH5 based box I have to see if a PCI > resource allocation bug went away, but was stymied by the fact that > recent kernels (2.6.12 from Fedora and 2.6.13-rc5) hang when ata_piix > probes for drives.
