Since we had some indication (si_name) that this problem was related
to cd0 (an HP Surestore CDW 6020) I investigated that direction a bit further.
I was able to recreate a similar crash when trying to mount a CD, but
the crash dump was of no help (the stack frame pointer was apparently
wrong, and gdb was unable to produce a backtrace).
However, I noted that these crashes occur only when one specific
faulty disc is present in the CD burner at boot time (a failed disc
that was not fixated correctly). When this CD is in the drive at boot
time, I get the following messages:
(cd0:sym0:0:2:0): got CAM status 0x4c
(cd0:sym0:0:2:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
(cd0:sym0:0:2:0): lost device
(cd0:sym0:0:2:0): removing device entry
When the CD is not in the drive at boot time, I get no such error, and
sysinstall and mounting a CD work correctly afterward.
Hope this helps,
Thomas.
