I've found a fix for this - the DEVFS code was overrunning a buffer in st.c, causing it to do strange & terrible things to other stuff on the stack. To fix, change line 276 of /sys/scsi/st.c to be static char name[128]; It all works now, can someone commit a change (and probably review the buffersize for this stuff that DEVFS uses? I see some other errors (nothing fatal) on another relating to the psm0 device abouth not being able to allocate a name slot.) Stephen -- I do not speak for the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland - They don't pay me enough for that!
