It starts on current. Maybe it is a missing time related syscalls which
is missing on stable. I have some patches for stable which only MFC
non-2.6 related stuff, but they are not finished (I need to do some
compile testing and patch syscalls.master) and not even run-tested. I
don't know when I have time to finish them.

I don't think it is about the stuff which will not be merged. I made a
ktrace of nero, but hadn't time to have a look at it yet. When nero is
started I wasn't able to see my (firewire based) dvd writter. I want to
have a look at this too. I don't know about ata attached devices, I
didn't had time to test it.

While you talk about gento-dist... I had trouble installing the port on
-current a while ago. Can you have a look at it / test it on current?
