It sounds as if you have the same problem I had.

Likewise!

I can offer 3 solutions :)

     1. I can send you a 1.3.2 test kernel which runs on my RPC
     2. Likewise a 1.3H kernel built from very recent sources - It's full of debugging code, but that seems to be what gets it past the 'Secondary bootstrap' lockup.
     3. Put lots of 'printf' statements in the relevant sections of '/usr/src/sys/arch/arm32/piscpc/machdep.c'. This is how I overcame the problem (see 2. above).

Unfortunately, I haven't built an install kernel, as I can disable the podulebus and install the base installation on the motherboard-connected drive and mount the ICS drive later.

Let me know if you want me to send you a kernel.
regards,
Dave
