I've got the same problem with an A7N8X-X (athlon 2000+) motherboard and
6-STABLE (Build Feb, 2 2006).
booting with kernel.debug says nothing, seems to be hardware hang but
doesn't happend with linux nor OpenBSD. Didn't tried 5.3 yet.
Hang after detection of ATA devices (floppy's light turns on, then hang)
I've experienced this myself. Happens w/ nForce-based mobos and
certain shuttles. My fix has to always set the BIOS setting of the HD
to LBA instead of Auto or CHS.
Try this and report back ;-)
Tried this unsuccessfully, but fixing cpu freq to 100Mhz (instead of
133Mhz) seems to work...
I've read something about disabling firewire in the bios, but I have it
on a separate card (not in the MB), and I can't remove it for the moment...
I'm not kernel developper, but I may try patches or ?
Geoffroy.
