I get those, too, when I try to use -current on my KA650, which has a
DEQNA interface. I don't do that too much, though, since -current
lately isn't stable on the KA650. I'm running a version from back in
February, which is completely stable, but attempts to upgrade over the
last couple of months have all failed. Upgrading from a sporadic
sequence of source updates sometimes gives unbootable kernels, and
sometimes bootable ones that will crash under load. I _think_ it has
to do with my MSCP SCSI interface, a CMD CQD-220. I have to use an
old /boot with it, as well, because the current one can't boot from
it. This is _really_ weird, as I'm certain that the implementation of
MSCP in /boot is still the same as it was back when it worked. I hope
to find time to study this before too long. Meanwhile, is there
anyone out there who has a CQD-220 actually working with -current?
