Hello,

(sorry, don't know whether kernel problems should go to questions or  
hackers, or both)..

This has been a long-standing problem of mine, but I always ignored  
it hoping it would go away on its own with a future 6.x release, but  
it remains...

No matter whether I boot into safe mode or regular mode, with all  
kernel extensions disabled in /boot/loader.conf, I get the following  
panic late at boot of a fresh RELENG_6_2 kernel (with only a few  
services left to bring up). The 6.x kernels I've tried all build and  
installed cleanly without any errors...

This problem does not occur within any 5.x OS for me. I would  
certainly like to resolve this issue now, but this sort of debugging  
is over my head beyond running fsck (which I've tried). Any ideas here?

Thanks in advance for your help!
