My money is on the Compaq having one of the ``interesting'' Compaq PCI implimentations which causes our code nightmares. You may want to try 2.1.5 to see if it has the Compaq fixes in it, if not then -current does. (BTW: the ahc driver doesn't appear to the `-c' boot config. as it's a PCI device and all necessary information is auto-detected, but *ONLY* if the PCI bus is detected) > 2. > Any plans to add support for the AMD SCSI adapter that is embedded with > Compaq DexPro 6200 XL?
