You really shouldn't be tracking RELENG_2_2 yet. The bits in there are far from stable yet and most importantly, the work to fix the aic7xxx driver is not happening on that branch (it will only be merged in once I'm satisfied its stable). >It seems odd that I can >repeat this so easily, I would assume a lot of people should see this ?

You have a motherboard that cannot handle memory mapped I/O. The code on the 2.2 branch requires you to use the AHC_FORCE_PIO option. The code in current defaults to using PIO unless AHC_ALLOC_MEMIO is used. -- Justin T.
