>Description:
2.2.5-RELEASE panics a few seconds after displaying
the main install menu.  It says:

  syncing disks... panic: getnewbuf: inconsistent empty queue, qindex = 0

This problem only happens on a machine with a Buslogic
445C VLB controller and two SCSI disks.  I tried it on
a different machine which is IDE only, with no problem.

On the Buslogic SCSI machine where the problem occurs,
it happens every time.  No matter whether I prune as many
probes as possible or leave them all in, the result is the
same.  I even cleared the partition table from both disks
and tried it again, but the problem still happens.



>How-To-Repeat:
Install on a machine with Buslogic 445C VLB SCSI.

See kern/4843 of which this is a duplicate.  This bug seems 
to be the 48Mb RAM panic of 2.2.2 only moved to 64Mb RAM for 2.2.5. :(
