May 22 16:22:24 lungfish kernel: Module g_bsd failed to register: 17 But anyway: [nick@lungfish nick]$ sudo kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 2 0xfffffc0000300000 4b9298 kernel 2 1 0xfffffe0002ad6000 14000 geom_bsd.ko However, as soon as I try and access that disk again: [nick@lungfish nick]$ sudo bsdlabel /dev/ad0 The box just seems to hang at that point. It hasn't crashed per se, rather all disk I/O seems to have gone out of the window. The only way out of this is to power-cycle the workstation. The disk is a standard IDE disk pulled from an x86 install of FreeBSD and is attached to the on-board IDE controller, but I've also tried with a Highpoint HPT370A based controller to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -- --Nick
