I vaguely remember a similar problem to this. I also used the upgrade
procedure to install new kernel sources. There are two problems
with this:-
(1) The matcd driver has been moved around a bit and the filenames are
not all the same. This means that after upgrading you still have
some of the old files lying around. This seems to stuff things up.
If you clean /sys and then untar the sources you should get around
this problem. If this doesn't help.....
(2) The config options for matcd have changed... It is now declared as
controller matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio
If you are trying to reuse your 2.0.5 config file then this could also
be a problem.

: cat ssys.* | (cd /sys ; tar xzf - )

Hope this helps. The problem with old files lying around is also an issue
in /usr/lib. There seem to be a number of old versions of the shared libs
hanging around but I haven't had the energy to go and clean them out yet.
Guess they don't hurt but my /usr is now over 100% full so it is probably
worth reclaming the disk space.
