 I haven't got a log to attach since I am using the machine that has the =
 boot problem.
 
 This disk hang is happening to me also with a current 5.3-BETA2 i386 ISO =
 and also a=20
 5.3-BETA2 kernel on an existing amd64 installation. If I have the SATA =
 controller
 enabled and allow ACPI to be loaded, boot will proceed to the point =
 where the SATA=20
 drive would be detected, then it hangs.=20
 
 I am able to boot normally if the SATA controller is disabled in the =
 BIOS. I am also=20
 able to boot normally if I disable ACPI.
 
 I don't know what happens if there are no attached SATA drives but the =
 SATA controller
 is left enabled.=20
 
 It may or may not be helpful, but this was not an issue with =
 5.2.1-RELEASE.=20
