Hi Chaps I am tracking 6-STABLE, FreeBSD funkalicious.home.dom 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #8: Thu Feb 23 23:24:57 GMT 2006 root@funkalicious.home.dom:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/funkalicious i386 I have a fairly straight-forward kernel config (see below) I think, yet if I enable "device atapicam", and buildkernel and installkernel and reboot, the system starts up fine until it get's to finding disks and then it goes incredibly slowly, takes about 5 minutes to get to "harvesting interupts" and so on and so on, I think it will eventually get to the login prompt, but I havent been tolerant to wait that long>15 minutes.Are there known problems with atapicam? or conditions under which it causes a massive system slow down, some sort of conflict timeout or loop problem maybe? My System is - Intel Pentium IV 3.2GHz MSI 848P-Neo Motherboard 2GB DDR RAM (2x1GB) 1 x 120GB Maxtor SATA Hard Disk HighPoint Tech RocketRaid 1640 RAID5 Card (with 3 x 250GB Maxtor SATA Hard Disks attached) NVIDIA GeForce 6800LE 256MB I have tried booting the system with and without the HighPoint RAID Driver (hpt374.ko = http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/bios_rr1640.htm) loaded and it seems to make no difference. If I dont use "device atapicam" the system is perfect, but I could really do with enabling it, for CD/DVD writting purposes...

You could try it to see if it makes a difference. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
