Nah, that machine already had a device.hints installed. And also with an upgraded device.hints (GENERIC.hints copied from /sys/i386/conf) the same problem occurs. And I don't think I'd have to edit device.hints on common hardware, using a GENERIC kernel, do I? It used to work before :-( Any more tips?
