Its wierd though that it works on intel/p4 but gets taht panic: Giant on
amd... My 2 amd systems panic with vinum start but the P4 works ok built
from the same sources. All with no vinum volumes, just trying vinum
start t test for this bug.

Ok, then I think I know what it is.
Vinum appearantly does not go through SPECFS but rather calls into
the disk device drivers directly. That is a pretty wrong thing to
do, and it seems that vinum does not respect the D_NOGIANT
flag which GEOM recently started setting.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by
incompetence.
