It looks, to me at least, like a bug that has been around for a while, I got hit by it repeatedly when installing 5.1 on an sparc64 / qlogic isp. Turning off softupdates just makes it harder to trigger it, certainly not impossible. It looks like a race somewhere that requires specific disk speeds / access patterns to trigger. I'll try 5.2 and see if it still breaks. -- Sten Spans There is a crack in everything that's how the light gets in.
