The driver is probably overflowing the kernel stack. Just after FreeBSD 4.4 was released the size of the kernel stack was increased to prevent this type problem. Is there any possibility that you can try removing your fix and then editing /src/sys/i386/include/param.h and change the line which says: #define UPAGES 2 so that upages is 3? If this fixes the problem then we can be fairly sure it is a stack overflow problem with the driver. David.
