Out of curiousity, did you get this crash while attempting to get
suspend/hibernation to work (i.e., they don't work, and you're trying to
get them to work)? I've noticed that, on some laptops with buggy (?)
APM implementations, the IDE controller/disks are never properly
reinitialized at resume time, with the result that the FS gets really
trashed (I basically had to reinstall FreeBSD, because, even if the
directories get reconnected, various individual files are corrupted).
I've fixed this on my laptop, but never made a proper patch (or
fixed it "correctly"), as few people appear to have this problem (I
appear to be the only one). If you want to see what I did, see:
