That's my conclusion at this point - I tried it against two disks on the
same controller, and got the same panic. It should be ripped out or
disabled until completed.

Deja Vu! My very first UNIX systems programming project on my first job out
of college was writing a disk driver (for ST-506/419 "winchester" disk
drives - anybody remember that interface standard? It later evolved into
ESDI) for 7th Edition UNIX.

Some things in the kernel have changed, clearly, so I wouldn't expect any
quick results - I've got some learning to do. However, if I have a skeleton
to start with, I can probably make some headway. The nice thing about this
kind of project is that I won't need any hardware documentation (which we
often seem to have trouble getting).

Mark me down as "interested", although I'd like to tackle the gnats-summary
web pages thing that I suggested, first.
