Actually, from PRs on this same panic, it appears to be unrelated to exact hardware, excepting that it be a SCSI subsystem. CAM should supposedly fix this IF you're running one of the supported cards (I'm not). This has been quite a crippling bug for a "stable" OS version. We now see panics about every 1.5 days, without warning of course. We're going to roll a 3.0-current release, make sure it is solid, and use that instead. I'd be happy to make the snapshot we create publicly available for use. From hints from other core folks (Thanks John!), it looks like the 11 May 98 -current will likely be the base for it.

I'm surprised you haven't heard from Simon Shapiro on this point. This sounds very much like a driver bug (I keep producing them with my vinum driver :-).
