Hello,

The new stuff still failed to detect properly my hardware. Whole dmesg is
attached. But, mysteriously, after two reboots the problem vanished, and
I can see my HW as I should:

GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc409ee70
ad0: 19546MB <FUJITSU MPF3204AT> [39714/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
GEOM: create disk ad1 dp=0xc409ed70
ad1: 39093MB <FUJITSU MPG3409AH EF> [79428/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA66
acd0: CDROM <CD-540E> at ata1-master UDMA33
acd1: CDRW <CD-W540E> at ata1-slave UDMA33
cd0 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <TEAC CD-540E 1.0A> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd0: 33.000MB/s transfers
cd0: cd present [348277 x 2048 byte records]
cd1 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd1: <TEAC CD-W540E 1.0C> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd1: 33.000MB/s transfers
cd1: cd present [1 x 0 byte records]

(this funny phantom CD inside of my drives is still there ;)
I don't have any idea why this thing was not working in the begining. I
did not touch anything, I swear. ;)

Anyway,
On the new kernel, reboot (after waiting for all the fsck's to finish)
resulted in panic when syncer was called to flush everything. This has
happened only once, I cannot reproduce it, yet the syncer problem
(giving up on 1 buffer) persist. It is not a problem with the aio
module, as I have removed it, and it still happens. Willing to provide
more feedback, if I knew how..
