This seems to be a normal panic except there is no console output (PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME) is 15 seconds). >Since there is no visible panic and nothing in the logs, I am >looking for suggestions on how to investigate this problem.

The odd thing is the 15-second delay is consistent, Try using a serial console (connect a 9600 bps terminal to sio0 and boot with -h). Bruce
