Subject:   Recent 4.2-STABLE CVSUP causes failure in AAA-131 adaptec scsi/raid card

I've got a rather interesting problem,  recently re-cvsup'd 4.2-stable, and
rebuilt world and kernel and yet something is not right.   I have not
changed any hardware, during, just needed to recompile with ipv6 on for some
tunnel testing.  Upon restart
the kernel failed after finding the scsi/raid card.  FreeBSD runs this as a
normal 2940 scsi card, just does not support the raid functionality of it.
Only reason I am running it is I was given two 9GB cheetahs and the raid
card was the only thing I had access to for free that would support the LVD
connectors @ nearly native lvd speeds and the ram cache on the card is nice
as well.  Below is the paste of the message where it failed on the new
kernel, perhaps something got changed that effectively killed the support on
this card, Adaptec AAA-131 raid controller (driver ahc).  Has this been
fixed?
