Yeah, don't run -stable. :-D

I started running -stable again after Justin Gibbs commited the new ahc
driver, and I have been unable to get a kernel to run for more than 5
minutes.

I too have a 2842, and I have seen both total hang conditions ( ddb shows
the processes sleeping on "newbuf" ), and panics about the various queues,
both "inconsistent EMPTY queue", and "inconsistent LRU queue". A kernel
from 2.1-RELEASE sources runs fine.

I have exchanged mail with Justin Gibbs, and David Greenman about this, and
haven't seen/heard anything in about 2 weeks.

Obviously, I'm not the only person seeing this, and, in fact, one other
person with an Adaptec 1742 under -stable was/is having the same problems
as well. ( could this be something in the eisaconf code? )

BTW: I apologize for sending a cc to hackers, but I've been unable to get
any kind of response from anyone about this after the initial mail with
Justin and David. ( A little pat on the head, along with "we're working
on it" might be nice :) )
