To go with DLL Hell that MS developers suffer, I call this "GUI Hell". 
That's when the dialog says "Click cancel to prevent <some undesirable 
action>." and all you have is a "Yes" button.

This might have to do with devfs and/or your modules.conf.  I recently 
installed LVM, which wanted devfsd, which put a bunch of probeall stuff 
in modules.conf.  And I have some other stuff there that refers to ide-scsi.

Good luck,
