Greetings peoples.  Isn't upgrading for the first time just so much fun?

Here's one for the SCSI people to look at.

A system containing an Ultrastor34f SCSI controller boots a kernel configured
for uha0 on IRQ14.  It detects the 34f at the default mailbox address, and
reads the board settings.  Lo and behold, the board is set to 11. (in
my case, it has to be - I have an Adaptec ACB-232, and if the 34f is anywhere
else, nothing works. *sigh*)

Things (may) go alright for a little while, but very soon, the kernel expires
with the message.

ISA strayintr e

Now, e == 14 and that makes me very suspicious.  I've repeated this test
many times, (for other reasons 8( ) and it's 100% consistent.  Sometimes it
may take quite some time before the error occurs.  Once it does, things
aren't totally lost - but the uha driver sits in an endless loop complaining
that the board is not responding.

Another, probably unrelated error with the uha driver (I hope) - the
system freezes (console keystrokes are still echoed, but no response) after
the message

st0 timed out AGAIN

(this is using mt fsf to skip a tar archive)

All results here are with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
