Once the kernel is switched 1.5-generic-nodma (ignore my typo above) and
placed on my raq1 not only do I get the same CANNOT READ: BLK 16386 error
but when I run fdisk wd0 it panics.  This is, if nothing else, consistent
with my other two raqs.  The 1.5.1 snapshot still hangs so I assume the DMA
mojo with 2700 series cobalt hardware hasn't been sorted out yet.  Anyone
have a 1.5.1-generic-nodma image I can snag?  I don't have a suitable build
environment at the moment.  Last time Soren tried to get a usefull
traceback out of my raq's we weren't very successfull using 1.5 kernels,
I'm hoping things have progressed somewhat since then.
