Josh, I experienced this same problem during a recent migration to RAIDframe Auto-configuration. I had a RAID 1 root auto-configured RAID set, and a RAID 0 auto-configured set. The source tree I was using dates back to August 5th so it is obviously outside of your 12-hour window. However, I pinpointed my hang due to a CD-ROM being connected to the IDE port on the motherboard. Without the CD-ROM drive, the RAIDframe Auto-configure would proceed as expected.
I don't know if this will help, considering I do not have a dmesg on hand. The server is already deployed and I cannot experiment with CD-ROM drive insertion/removal. I can tell you that the offending CD-ROM drive is a LITE-ON CD-ROM Drive model LTN-483S if that is of any consequence. And yes, RAID_AUTOCONFIG is set in the kernel config. Without it, the RAIDframe would proceed as expected with or without the CD-ROM drive. -Brian Josh Grosse wrote: [snip] > The symptom: hang after normal kernel message: "Kernelized RAIDframe Activated" [snip] > atapiscsi0 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0 > scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets > cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <LITE-ON, DVDRW SHW-160P6S, PS01> SCSI0 5/cdrom removable [snip] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
