I have a different server, a different cyclades PCI card and a different port card (with 8 ports). Same boot hang problem after adding the cy driver and COMPAT_ISA. Booting without acpi didn't help. After a while I got this in the hung boot, if it is interesting: spin lock (null) held by 0 for > 5 seconds panic: spin lock held too long cpuid = 0; Uptime: 1s Shutting down ACPI Automatic reboot in 15 seconds Then I commented out these two lines in my kernel file: options SMP device apic With the new kernel the server boots ok with the cyclades card connected, and I get contact with the router on port 1 in the port card. I didn't have to boot without acpi, just commenting out SMP and apic made it work. We can live without SMP and apic if they are only in the kernel for multiple CPU support. By the way, does Hyper Threading in the CPU require SMP/apic?
