Because of just that - you can't mix geom_part and geom_mbr because they do the same thing, and gpart is the utility for interfacing with geom_part. >>> I need geom_mbr module due to my some of usb thumb >>> drivers. >> >> Why?

This almost certainly indicates a problem somewhere else, not in geom_part. You need to provide more details: what kernel messages do you get when geom_mbr is not loaded?
