Pix here: www.yberwaffe.com/pix/temp/dfly-fatal-trap.JPG I have tried to install Vector Linux a couple times and the install hangs at random locations. I have started to suspect overheating problems. I just removed the lid over the CPU and almost burnt myself. Well, I haven't been using this laptop for almost a year so the CPU fan might goofing up.

Can you log in as root and do 'sysctl kern.disks'?

Verbose log here: www.yberwaffe.com/pix/temp/dmesg.txt The SSD is an OCZ Agility 2 if that helps. This is no big deal for me, I think I have a spare SATA disk somewhere so I'll manage. NOTE... I'm a *nix noob with better things to do all day than learning *nix commands, but if you need help debugging this I'll be happy to help out.
