Final report, seeing -mm2 is out: - Netconsole works. (grumblestupidsusefirewallgrumble) - The hang during boot only happens with kernels compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL=y It also doesn't always happen at the same point in the boot sequence. I'm suspecting it might be triggered by some network packet. Anyway, it's obviously *not* a SATA problem. (That was just me jumping to conclusions, because ...) - That leaves only the messages ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) and accompanying delays during boot, for each installed SATA disk. I'll try to find the time to retest this with 2.6.25-rc8-mm2. Thanks, Tilman -- Tilman Schmidt E-Mail: tilman@xxxxxxx Wehrhausweg 66 Fax: +49 228 4299019 53227 Bonn, Germany
