Hi,

Don't panic it isn't your hardware. Its a known problem with the current =
snapshot kernel which I believe Mark Brinicombe is going to fix ;)  I =
get the same thing too and so do others.

You should be ok using the 1.3.2 kernels so long as you don't have an =
ICS IDE v6 interface. I forget the path but its under the 1.3.2 delivery =
stuff.

Belated thanks for that - I've only just had time to try them, and =
almost
immediately run into problems.  Using the 19981001 snapshot, with either
RPCINST or RISCPC, and various combinations of options in BtRiscBSD,
including the default (/dev/md0a, ehbug etc), they get as far as
(roughly):=20

initarm: Secondary booting... mapping...

and then apparently freeze.  This is before it says it's probing =
hardware,
so unless there's something fundamentally wrong with the hardware, like =
a
processor it doesn't support (I'm using an ARM610), it's not happy. Has
anyone got any suggestions?=20

Cheers,
