 I finally got around to upgrading my home system to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 this
weekend. I upgraded using the "UPGRADE.sh" script against a clean source
tree. As with other systems I have done, this ran without problems. I rebuilt
the kernel using the GENERICBT config file (I have a UltraStor 34F SCSI
controller) Now when I reboot the system, it hangs with the message "Waiting
for SCSI bus to settle" (or something close to that...) This seems to lock up
the whole bus so I need to power on and off to clear it.
 I took my original config file from 1.1 and rebuilt the kernel using that and
although I don't get the "settle" message, I still lock up in the boot sequence
at the point where it prints out the uha0 information. Booting from the 1.1
kernal is continues to be OK. Anyone have any ideas ? System info is as follows:

Intel 486/66 on a Diamond FastBus Motherboard.(has onboard IDE and Floppy cont)
UltraStor 34F VLB
2 SCSI drives - DOS/WINDOWS on drive1 /FreeBSD on drive 2 (BootEasy)
NEC CDRom

Thanks,
