Rich I have duplicated this crash here running a 2 week old stable during a make world, except I don't get the scsi timeout, I drop right into a panic: getnewbuf: inconsistent AGE queue, qindex = 2, with a similiar traceback. Reverting to 2.1-RELEASE on the system eliminated the problem :-(. I do not see this problem on any of the PCI systems I have been building so this may be related to the EISA changes and only effecting EISA systems. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
