I just looked at the PR. He's running:
ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 12 on pci0.10.0
ahc0: aic7870 Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
ncr0: <ncr 53c810 fast10 scsi> rev 0x01 int a irq 11 on pci0.12.0
ncr1: <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 0x03 int a irq 9 on pci0.13.0
It should be noted that freefall had a severe case of problems like this
that all but disappeared when the ncr cards were swapped for an ahc2940U2W.
Quite how this should make such a dramatic difference is a bit of a
mystery. We were seeing really strange things like a bit of the kernel
stack being partly trashed and messing up some local variables..
Cheers,
-Peter
