If he is using -current, then this is almost certainly because of PHK's
changes.  It should have been fixed by his checkin earlier Saturday.

I reproduced this behavior on my test system that has an Adaptec
controller.  The symptoms were the same -- a READ command with a block
number specified but with no length.  

I'm not sure why there is a data phase at all, but my guess is that the
drive tries to return at least one block.  

In any case, cvsup again, try a new kernel and see if the problem goes
away.
