I just noticed that there are a bunch of GEOM options in
/usr/src/sys/conf/GENERIC that I was not using in my custom
kernel.  I just added several of them that seem at least vaguely
appropriate to my machine (I don't know what any of them actually
are for, however).  Extended slices are still working okay with
the new options added.  Are you using any of them in your kernel?
