Evening all ...

  I have an Intel server (SVW7500, or some designation like that) setup
with an Adaptec 2120S controller in it:

aac0: <Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S> mem 0xf8000000-0xfbffffff irq 2 at device 9.0 on pci1
aac0: i960RX 100MHz, 48MB cache memory, optional battery present
aac0: Kernel 4.0-0, Build 5770, S/N 232fb7

  Originally, when we installed it, we had a problem where, while booting,
you would suddenly get the 'aac timeout' message scroll up the screen,
that has/had since been fixed ...

  Yesterday, after doing some work on one of our servers to increase the #
of vnodes, I added and built a new kernel with:

options         VM_KMEM_SIZE="(400*1024*1024)"
options         VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX="(400*1024*1024)"

   Which I have running on venus (its using an AMI RAID card) without any
hassles ... upon reboot of the Adaptec/Intel server, I once more am
getting the Timeouts and inability to boot ... a kernel built 10 minutes
earlier, without those options, but the exact same code, runs fine, so
something with the VM_KMEM_SIZE increase is causing the problem ...

   Help?
