The system hadn't panicked for over a day, but then panicked twice while I was at my day job. The crash dumps appear to be equivalent to each other as well as the previous ones (before pulling the card), at least to my relatively untrained eye. The removal of the card seemed to help, but not solve things completely. So I'm following up on Mr. River's hunch that it's related to something he believes was introduced in 2.2.6. I've installed 2.2.5 with a GENERIC kernel made with config -g, and put the potentially offending card back in. The system has been running for something under 12 hours now w/o a crash. We'll see how it goes this weekend. If it continues to run, that adds support to the notion that the problem is in a bit of code that changed between 2.2.5 and 2.2.6. Doesn't cinch it, but certainly adds support. Thanks again to everyone. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
