Hi list

It's me again trying to solve my problem concerning a system with a 
Vortex GDT8514RZ (patch Dec, 05, 2003). Because of the possibility that 
my older (09.02.2004) -Current hasn't been compiled properly I decided 
to make a new release (stand 18.02.2004) but without any success. I 
still get the same strange error:

pci2 at pchb5 bus 2
   "Intel GDT RAID" rev 0x00 at pci2 dev3 function 0 not configured

This must have anything to do with this new release. Probably I did 
anything wrong during the make release process, what I don't think 
because I did exactly the steps as described in the release manpage and 
except this gdt error, everything works correctly.

Has anyone in this list successfully installed a new OpenBSD 3.4-current 
(build after 09.02.2004) on a system with a Vortex controller? Or has 
anyone other helpful information?

Best regards
Lukas
