>Description:
if_igb driver panics during bootup.

The IGB driver probes the device at line 591 of if_igb.c and punts:
                if (e1000_validate_nvm_checksum(&adapter->hw) < 0) {
                        device_printf(dev,
                            "The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid\n");
                        error = EIO;
                        goto err_late;
                }

The kernel immediately panics with a page fault.  The trace-back show it's in the if_igb driver as the console messages suggest.

Releng_8 did not panic, so this is a regression.  The IGB NIC most likely has some sort of problem which is properly diagnosed.

Email me if you want the screen shot of the panic, or have a fix to try out.

>How-To-Repeat:
Crashes every time on boot.
>Fix:
Disabled compile of if_igb.c driver, system boots fine.
