I'm not sure about an earlier -current, but I can tell you I'm running one of
those cards with yesterday's -current with no problems. You didn't say which
kernel you're running, but if it's GENERIC it has device ep uncommented. The
only way I could get rid of that eeprom error was to re-run the setup util.
Mine however wasn't hanging the boot it would go on and define the card as
ep1. One thing you might try is putting the card in another slot and see if
it will boot.
Anyone else have this problem with -current?
