However, the problem is not so bad that you can't I've had a ton of experience with ahc lately, as those of you who follow -questions, -stable, or -scsi know. r1.48 of aic7xxx.c is horribly broken. I can't get current snaps after that revision was committed to even boot on machines which use aic7892 or 29160 controllers. Every boot it panic's immediately after probing the scsi controllers. I haven't had time to review just what dfr's changes in 1.48 did or why they might be causing this, but it doesn't look pretty. There are some pretty major diff's between 1.47 and 1.48. Brandon D.
