Here's a me-too report with a slight twist: Hardware: --------- ASUS P2B-DS motherboard with 2 x 700MHz P3 and 1GB ECC memory 2 x 3COM 3c905C-TX NICs (xl driver) 1 x Intel 82559 Pro/100 NIC (fxp driver) 1 x HighPoint 1540 SATA card (HPT374 chipset, default ata driver) - no SCSI devices connected to the onboard Adaptec aic7890/91 Ultra2 SCSI controller - 9GB ATA disc hooked up to the onboard Intel PIIX4 UDMA33 controller (boot disc) - 4 x 120GB Maxtor SATA discs hooked up to the HighPoint card (vinum RAID-5 array) Software, semi-working configuration: ------------------------------------- FreeBSD 5-CURRENT, 2004.06.29.09.00.00 SHED_4BSD, SMP+apic, CPUTYPE?=p3 (but no custom CFLAGS/COPTFLAGS) ACPI enabled This combination seems pretty stable. I have never been able to boot with the SATA discs connected (machine hangs hard just before the discs should be listed/probed), but booting with no SATA discs and then plugging them in after boot and running "atacontrol reinit X" works fine. Software, non-working configuration: ------------------------------------ FreeBSD 5-CURRENT, 2004.07.09.00.00.00 SHED_4BSD, SMP+apic, CPUTYPE?=p3 (but no custom CFLAGS/COPTFLAGS) - With ACPI enabled the machine reboots as soon as it starts to probe for devices/cards (very early in the boot message). I don't have a serial console so I don't know exactly what scrolls by, but it looks like a panic message during interrupt routing followed immediately by a reboot. - With ACPI disabled the machine boots (provided no SATA discs are connected, see above), but hangs with some message about "IPI stuck" during heavy load (sorry, I wasn't around to take down the exact message). Attached is the dmesg from the semi-working configuration. /Daniel Eriksson
