I put together a Tyan K7X-based machine last night (same AIX-7899W, running
dual Seagate Cheetahs), and the only problems I've had w/ the latest i386
snapshot are:

        1) xl0/xl1 ``command not completed'' every once in a while, although
           the ports seem to work fine.

        2) the machine hangs after probing the onboard IDE controller
           (disabling pciide and wdc gets along w/ things.. but obviously
           this doesn't help if you want to run ATA devices).

        3) npx0 post-probe seemed to hang the machine. I disabled it, but
           I haven't looked at the implications of this.

I just went through a ``make build'' without any apparent instability. I
can send you my dmesg if you're interested.
