Hi All,
We are running NetBSD/arm32 on an EBSA285, and have a Promise Ultra 33
in a PCI slot, which controls our disks fine. Up to now, all disks have
been less than 2GB. However, when we try and add any disk larger than
2GB, and do a disklabel as follows:
# disklabel wd0 >diskproto
The system reboots with:
panic: Branch to never-never land (zero)..... were dead
Any ideas what the problem may be? We have applied the Promise patches
to the pciide driver.
Thanks
Bruce
