Is is possible to get a stack trace when the machine freezes?  Boot with the 
kernel debugger (add options "-kv" to the grub kernel boot command line),
and when the machine appears to be frozen, type "F1 + A", and in case you
get the kmdb prompt, type "$c" - that should print a stack trace.  What stack 
trace
do you get?


Assuming the machine hangs because of bug 6414472, can you try this:

- Boot with the kernel debugger, append "-kdvs" to the kernel's command line.

- set a breakpoint in function "ata_id_common()"

  ::bp ata`ata_id_common

- start the kernel

  :c

Now, whenever the kernel stops on the ata_id_common breakpoint, type

    ::step out

followed by 

    :c

(you probably have to repeat these two commands 4 - 8 times, depending on the
number of IDE devices that are connected to this machine)


Does it return to the kmdb prompt when you use the "::step out" command, 
or does it freeze?
