My last commit to -stable > should have corrected a fairly serious issue with twin eisa controllers. Problems vanished after CVS upgrading this morning. Do you want me to try those fixes on -current anyway? Well, almost. After reading a bunch of old commit mails, i'm now fairly positive the problem is not ahc(4)- but SMPNG-related. Whatever it has been, one of the commits made at last weekend must have fixed something like interrupt routing for this old Saturn-based dual Pentium machine. The kernel now at least boots again. (For the folks on -smp: before, it timed out at any access to the SCSI controller, so i couldn't even get a single-user shell to run.) Still, the SMPNG kernel is anything else but stable, but that doesn't seem to be unexpected. :) It sometimes panics right before even displaying the kernel's copyright notice, the crash then happens somehewhere in module_register(). At other occasions, it crashed later during fsck, or even later while running /etc/rc, so i resorted to build a kernel without SMP now in order to get a working environment at all. I'll see to cvs update again in order to not stumble across problems that have already been fixed since.
