I don't think our boot loader understands ffsv2 even in -current -  
your root partition or whatever you want to load the kernel from must  
be ffsv1, everything else can be ffsv2 or whatever else you want.  
That doesn't explain the deadlocks though.

Damn, there goes the easy way out.
How does the kernel recognize the IDE controller? wdc at pci, wdc at  
obio or something completely different? Does the Quicksilver have an  
extra IDE chip like the b&w G3 did?
I've never had a Quicksilver in my hands so I need to know what's in  
it ;)

Any chance to capture the dmesg output before it deadlocks and mail  
it to me?

have fun
Michael
