I have seen this too, on the same hardware.  A HP DL145G2 with 4G 
memory;  after touching the SATA disk (immediately after selecting a 
shell going into single user mode, after the date/time display on a 
multiuser boot) the system panics.

This is using PseudoRAID, not gmirror.

It worked with 6.0-BETA1.  I think it broke with BETA5, but it could 
have been shortly after.

Also, after failure, the ar(4) mirror is broken.  "atacontrol rebuild" 
stays on 0% with BETA1.  The rebuild works if I run it after booting 
from a 5.4 CD.

Regards,

Jan Mikkelsen
