Yes, you were not reading the commit messages or UPDATING or -current.
You should have a /boot/device.hints for your machine. You dont need
GENERIC.hints or DEBUG.hints if you have this set up correctly. As a head

config and 'make install' will not let you forget this.. Were you installing
your kernel by hand or something?
