Hi,
I could not find my solution in the list archieves. I could not decide which
list to post, so here it goes.
I can not boot with very recent sources.
I have FreeBSD 5.3-BETA2 #0: Tue Aug 31 22:36:53 EEST 2004 sources with
cvsup. This kernel locks during boot, before mounting disks, and most
probably during identification of disks.
BETA1 was locked previously, too. By "lock" I mean first main console
freeze, after several seconds keybord lights freeze. Keyboard does not work.
Screen stays same. Only reset from case or re-cycling the power helps. There
is no core dump or log. Below is the output of the screen of a verbose boot:
After initializin "lo0" there is two times below paragraph and system
locks:

ata0: reinit channel ..
ata0: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat=50 ostat1=50
ata0-master: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00
ata0-slave: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb
ata0: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9<ATAPI_SLAVE,ATA_MASTER>
ata0: resetting done ..

I do not have this problem with my old kernel "FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Thu
Jul 1 22:40:57 EEST 2004". It is world built and have codes around same
date that kernel has:
Today, I tried again with yesterday evening sources. Now, I read
"BETA3"
during boot. Same problem persist. Hope above helps to find the problem.
