hi.

after loading the kernel grml search it's boot-device, but on one system
this freezes the whole system, that even the reset-button doesn't work
any more - I have to switch the device off.

because I've tested this pc with grml before I've put the components
together, I know, that it must correspond to one of the additional
cards, so I've made a short test, without two additional SATA-cards.

at least, if I put an additional mini-PCIe-Card with an ASM1062 into the
pc, grml freezes again.

but: there are two onboard ASM1062, which don't make any problems with grml.

(I think, there's at least an empty blueray-burner connected to the
first port, but I've forgotten to check this explicitly last time)

because it's somehow strange I don't think, that this can be easily
reproduced and unfortunately I can't make as many tests, as I want,
because the pc runs as a server.

but from time to time I'll get the possibility to try to boot grml...

is there any possibility to trace the boot, to get what there's exactly
happening?

best regards

j.
