It identifies itself as "1.32i 20071005" when it powers-up/restarts.   
I don't
seem to have any problem with reboots hanging, just this DMA thing.

Alternately, is there a known-good minimal kernel config I ought to  
start
from?  I'm running a pretty recent RELENG_6 kernel; are there any known
problems there, or fixes not MFC'd from RELENG_7 or HEAD back into  
RELENG_6?
