Any chance of hooking up a serial console to see what's going on?  A
capture of the problem might help. :-)  However, there's no guarantee that 
you'll get anything there either if it's doing something silly like triple 
fault resetting itself without a trace.

FWIW, I'm using SMP and -current CAM OK here (so far) on an 2xPPro/aic7880 
system, the 2xP5-90/aic7770 is (still..) compiling..  I'm still catching up 
after the conference here.
