The saga continues.

With:
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default date=2008.03.07.00.00.00

the machine gets over the pxeboot and loads kernel, then panics with this:

With:
*default date=2008.04.12.00.00.00
it freezes in this stage:

03.11 gave a stackdump loop (BTX halted, register states scrolling
endlessly), earlier ones can boot but crash with "kernel trap 12 with
interrupts disabled" (see above).

Any chance for somebody to look into this issue?
