I'm seeing much of the same here, the matcd driver hangs solid on the
first couble of reads, i get "strange" looking files when checking
out of cvs (ie files with single to multiple chars changed).
All in all I'd say -current is totally screwed at this point in time :(
I also have seen the dreaded keyboard hang in syscons (so now I
have the opportunity to fix it :) )
I get core dunps all over the place if I stress the system a little,
ie a cvs update will produce multiple coredumps if I start a Xsession
on another vty. It seems we have some really bad stuff in there
somewhere. I've checked on my old system from about 28 september, and
it doesn't have the above problems, even the atapi driver works there ;(

Same here...

Hmm, I'll ask the same question (and go fix syscons & the atapi stuff :) )
