I'm having a problem when loading geom_bsd on an Alpha XPS1000 machine and subsequently attempting to access a particular IDE drive, which is as follows: [nick@lungfish nick]$ uname -a FreeBSD lungfish.dischord.org 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4 #0: Mon Apr 5 13:14:34 BST 2004 nick@lungfish.dischord.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LUNGFISH alpha [nick@lungfish nick]$ dmesg | grep -i maxtor ad0: 39205MB <Maxtor 6E040L0> [79656/16/63] at ata1-master WDMA2 [nick@lungfish nick]$ sudo bsdlabel /dev/ad0 bsdlabel: /dev/ad0: no valid label found [nick@lungfish nick]$ sudo kldload geom_bsd At this point I notice this in /var/log/messages: May 22 16:22:24 lungfish kernel: module_register: module g_bsd already exists! 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
