>Originator:     Damieon Stark
>Release:        FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE
>Organization:
Telemere Technologies Inc
>Environment:
Working: 4.1-STABLE (kernel and world) from ~Aug  5 2000
Broken: Kernel as of newbus commits on the 10th ( I think )
>Description:
When booting a "DPT PM3334UW FW Rev. 07M0, 2 channels, 64 CCBs" on
4.1-STABLE the bios asigns an irq and the kernel seems to think it is on
a different one.  Causing a kernel panic during boot. On my machine the
bios asigns an IRQ of 9, but the kernel comes up with 16.  In reading 
sys/dev/dpt/dpt.h I saw a comment about information read from the dpt 
being both Big endian, as well as in network byte order, This seems like
a reasonable place to think the problem may be.... But not YET being a 
wizard, I don't know. Plus I don't know anything about newbus yet.. ;)
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile a newbusified dpt kernel (after aug 10) and try to boot up a 
DPT PM3334UW. (pci)
>Fix:
possible endian-ness/byte order missmatch in dpt_read_conf? or in the
way newbus handles the data...  Again, don't know....
