Other people have reported kernel panics. It looks to me like k3b's device probing and hald's device probing at the same time manages to tickle a bug in ata(4). Ref: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-April/070753.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-April/034486.html I'm afraid a true kernel hacker will have to inconvenince themselves with running k3b and hal in order to have this one fixed. FWIW, I haven't seen in happening on 5.5.
