 I wonder how HAL manages to start this panic. It doesn't have
 the rights to access any SCSI device. I did a
 # su -m haldaemon
 and tried read operations on all da*, cd*, xpt* and pass*
 devices. And all I ever received was:
 Permission denied
 
 So how doe HAL go about accessing things it must not? This
 looks like a major breech of security to me.
