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? ) Ron 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 :) ) -- Ron Lenk -- rlenk@xmission.com
