I mentioned the very same problem last June in a few posts here.  I
guess no one else experienced this issue, or there would have been
some kind of response. In fact, I haven't been able to recover a
crashdump since I switched over to current at the beginning of the year.

I have a promise PDC20269 UDMA133 and a Maxtor 60G.

More recently, though, sometime in mid September, a panic and crash
dump trash my partition table as well.  And it's repeatable, but I'm
not going to try again to see if it was fixed :)
