Description Bruce Burden 2005-05-19 03:20:22 UTC 
GENERIC has an entry for "asr", but does not have "options ASR_COMPAT".
If a card (in my case, Adaptec 3210S) using the asr driver is installed,
the GENERIC kernel will panic when the OS goes multi-user (perhaps fsck
starts?)

Fix: 

Add "options ASR_COMPAT" to the GENERIC kernel directives. I'd suggest
adding a mention of ASR_COMPAT to the asr man page as well.
How-To-Repeat: Simply attempt to boot i386 GENERIC on an INTEL/AMD 32 bit system with
one of the asr supported cards installed. Probably need a disk attached
to the controller as well.

To submitter:  Is this still a problem with more recent versions of FreeBSD?
