Hey all,

        I've got a USB to IDE converter which, if I try and put it to use
for any amount of time, causes my 5.1 release system to hang in various
ways, and it either leaves me with a completely locked system or with
disks that won't sync (meaning, amount other things, that I can't shutdown
properly).  Commands opperating on the offending disk are left in ps's "D"
state, meaning uninterruptable sleep. Nothing wierd shows up in messeges
or dmesg, and the drive worked okay in freebsd 4.8, though I didn't use it
that much, so I can't be sure. The kernel is custom, but I was able to
repeat the problem with a generic kernel. I was also able to reproduce the
problem with both the built in USB driver (VIA 83C572 USB controller) and
an old USB card I pulled out of my mac (OPTi 82C861 (FireLink) USB
controller). I have also tried two drives, so the problem is either the
adaptor or FreeBSD.

My machine is currently up, but all processes accessing the drive are
frozen (and so are a few others), in case someone wants to ask about that.
Any help greatly appretiated!

Here are the relevent parts of dmesg from boot:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Here are the relevent parts of dmesg from and from when I attach the USB
to IDE adaptor:

umass0: Genesys Logic USB TO IDE, rev 2.00/0.02, addr 6
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <ST312002 6A 0811> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 114473MB (234441648 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 14593C)
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing
minimum_cmd_size to 10.


Last line does seem mysterious....
