Re: 4.7-stable won't boot on Asus P2B-DS board :-((

[Steve Passe]

Hi,
 An Asus P2B-DS board, with the latest bios (1013), 2 P-II processors, And IDE
 harddisk and DVD-drive that loads a freebsd iso CD, and 512 Megs of RAM that 
 count correctly won't boot 4.7-Stable. 
 ...
 Whatever kind of kernel configuration I try to boot, it hangs after
 detecting devices. In standard kern-conf, this is straight after plip.

 We have had a similar problem with SOME p2b boards here since 4.4.
Just today we discovered that the problem went away if we enable
USB IRQ in the BIOS on the PNP AND PCI SETUP page.

4.7-stable won't boot on Asus P2B-DS board :-((

[Rene Veerman]

I have a nice one for the hardware freaks on this list;

An Asus P2B-DS board, with the latest bios (1013), 2 P-II processors, And IDE
harddisk and DVD-drive that loads a freebsd iso CD, and 512 Megs of RAM that 
count correctly won't boot 4.7-Stable. I've downloaded the latest iso just 
a few days ago.

The only weird thing that is reported is @ boot, just before the kernel
loads;
  Bios drive C: is disk2
  Bios drive C: is disk3

Whatever kind of kernel configuration I try to boot, it hangs after
detecting devices. In standard kern-conf, this is straight after plip.

Since I'd really like to run freebsd on this machine, i'm very willing to
provide you with more debug information.

I have already tried different IDE harddisks, and putting the harddisk on a
different IDE connector.

Please please, some help would be very much appreciated.
