Even 4.0 and 3.1.x hangs so this could be something to do with large HDDs and 
the Dell CERC controller. Does anyone have

aac0 at pci3 dev 9 function 0: Dell CERC SATA RAID 1.5/6ch
aac0: interrupting at ioapic2 pin 0 (irq 11)
aac0: GETCOMMPREF appears untrustworthy.  Ignoring.

ld0: 465 GB, 60797 cyl, 255 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 976705536 sectors

and 1 TB disks (maybe in RAID 1 mode)? Does it work without any problems?

Everything works for me with 500 GB disks but not with 1 TB disks... I haven't 
talked to Dell yet (and my service contract has already expired for this host).
