You read too much into that, I dont normally run a GENERIC kernel,
I run one stripped down to what I need, I gave you guys a generic
example of what fails, and what can easily be reproduced.

Anyhow, I have asked before to have you guys supply me with
a kernel that has been compiled "the right way" and I'll test
it out here just to make sure I dont do anything stupid..

Just a bare bones kernel, fxp & ata drivers will do nicely for the
serverworks thingy, give me an URL I can get it from or put it
on ftp.freebsd.dk/incoming and give my a ping when its there...
