Adaptec 2940 U2W SCSI Card and Solaris 2.6

in Solaris 2.6 Hardware Compatibility List, there isn't support
Adaptec 2940 U2W SCSI Card, but Solaris 7 supportted it.
(http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/2.6/march99/files/c0111.htm#...)
(http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/7/aug99/files/c0111.htm#X86H...)

but Solaris 7 needs to patch with patch-ID: 107867-02 to support 2940 U2W,
(http://access1.sun.com/patch.public/cgi-bin/readme2html.cgi?patch=107...)

is there any way to let Solaris 2.6 can support Adaptec 2940 U2W SCSI Card?

There's a patch for Solaris 2.6, too. Look for the cadp patch
107768-01 in the "Solaris_x86 Intel Drivers" section at:

http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-license&...

107768-01 is patch for Adaptec 7890C, but Adaptec 2940 U2W's chip is AIC-7890A
so is that ok for AIC-7890A?

ps. Adaptec 2940 U2W is an Wide Ultra2 SCSI Card, which support 80MB/sec data burst
rates on one bus channel.

1. Kernel Fatal trap 12 error with adaptec 2940 u2w scsi card

I am having trouble building a FreeBSD kernel that won't fly straight into a
FATAL TRAP 12 error just before the kernel sees the harddiscs in my system.

I have completely cleaned my /usr/src system (deleted it), CVSUPed a clean
RELENENG_4 tree, made buildworld, made kernel, installed kernel, installed
world, mergemastered

The "fatal trap 12 error" doesn't happen when:

* I boot a generic 4.3 relesae kernel (i didn't compile it, it came with the
binary install).
* I remove the Adaptec 2940u2w scsi card (Yes it works fine with the 4.3
release kernel)

I have also mounted the system drive in another machine (identical hardware)
and then I can replicate the error. Somehow, the kernels I build (no strange
make options) just don't work when the adaptec card is in. A simple 4.3
generic one will.....

I am going mad here... is there a bug in 4.4 stable that conflicts with the
Adaptec 2940 u2w scsi card?
