Hmm.  There are a couple of things missing here, like the dump.  The
log files show that there's something wrong with /dev/da1 (unrecovered
data error; you should check whether you have ARRE and AWRE set), but
that shouldn't cause the system to hang up.

I'd strongly doubt that the problem has anything to do with the host
adapter.  I don't know of anything in Vinum which would cause these
problems either, so we'd really need to know more details.  Sorry I
can't give you any more ideas, but there's not much to go on.
