Okay, I tried with a 4.4-PRERELEASE bootdisk that was available on current.jp.freebsd.org and dmesg came up with the following: ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0x5000-0x50ff mem 0x50000000-0x50000fff irq 15 at device 15.0 on pci0 aic7880: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs Since -stable and -current are using the exact same driver, there is something more subtle (and sinister?) going on that I can't figure out. At this point, I'm throwing my hands up in the air unless someone can give me a better idea as to what the possible problem could be. I'd really like to try -current on this box as it's a dual proc PPro 200.
