I downloaded the patch and created a new install cd with it (from snapshot, in src/nrelease with make release), and it worked! :-)
Yesterday, I downgraded the current development version to the last stable 2.6.3 with the patched twa driver. That worked out, too.
Great!

Can you put up a verbose /var/run/dmesg.boot again?

There is one problem left, that I will try to take care of today: since the installation the RAID 1 was downgraded and the rebuilding process seems to fail. Dmesg lists:

At the moment, after the system downgrade, it is in rebuilding state,

twa0: INFO: (0x04: 0x000B): Rebuild started: unit=0

and it does not stop for the last hour. If it stops rebuilding I'll contact you again.
You could try adding "options TWA_DEBUG=x" with x being a number from 0 
to 10 (no debug output up to very verbose I assume), and see if that 
shows us more.

I have one issue left in the port, and that is determining what to do 
with the lockfunc and lockfuncarg that FreeBSD passes to 
bus_dma_tag_create() (see "XXX swildner" comments in 
sys/dev/raid/twa/tw_osl_freebsd.c). I will look at this.

Please keep us informed on anything you discover.
