I think I did one of the fsck in foreground because it was unable
to repair the file system and asked me to do it manualy; but I'll
do it again in single user; I also have now fetched sysutils/memtest
and will stress the memory because the 1st PANIC occured before
I had build qemu, ie. I don't think that this is related to that
kernel module itself; after the memtest I'll do a complete reinstall
from scratch of the 6.0-RELEASE from CD;

I did not do that, I've just installed 6.0-RELEASE from the distribution
CD-ROM and after the primary installation procedure I went to
/usr/ports/x11/kde3 to make the desktop KDE and meanwhile that I
was copying my files from my home dir of the old notebook (only userland
files, nothing in kernel) and this gave the first PANIC after some
hours;

this time after the installation of 6.0-RELEASE I'll only make
/usr/ports/emulators/qemu to see if I can reproduce the PANIC
with the above procedure; we will see...

I'm not in hurry, because the old notebook is still alive...

Thanks for your hints so far. ¡Qué tengas buen Fin del Año!
