Re: kernel/3370



Synopsis: System fails to boot with Promise PDC20268 PCI card

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: tom
State-Changed-When: Wed Mar 10 13:21:42 MST 2004
State-Changed-Why: 
Appears to be a geometry mis-match between motherboard BIOS and Promise
PDC20268 BIOS.  The new boot blocks are geometry-independent, so
shouldn't have this problem.

In addition, the "hard hang" seen was intentional in the old boot
blocks; the new ones stop with interrupts enabled (so Ctrl-Alt-Del will
work).

Please feel free to re-submit if the problem still occurs in -current.
