Greetings, I have an external USB enclosure into which I can plug either of two IDE hard drives, each in a separate caddy. One works perfectly, the other produces something very similar to the above error fairly consistently, and triggers reboots of the FreeBSD (5.3) box when the enclosure is plugged in or out with the 'broken' caddy inserted. After some experimentation and close examination, it appears that the cable inside the 'broken' caddy may have been slightly damaged. Manipulating the cable (squashing it down into the caddy so the sliding caddy lid does not scrape against it) appears to go some way towards solving the problem. So in my case I would say that it was a hardware (cabling) problem within the caddy, and thus within the USB enclosure. Other USB devices, including the second caddy and a couple of flash drives, seem to work fine. Rowdy
