--- Comment #20 from George Mitchell <george@m5p.com> ---
I've figured out why this crash is timing related, and also why ZFS is
involved.

My system has a 1 TB USB disk, which contains a ZFS file system.  When I po=
wer
my system on, it takes a variable amount of time for that disk to become re=
ady
and for ZFS to take note of it.  (I'm booting from a SATA disk with a
traditional old UFS file system.)  So if the USB disk becomes ready while
amdgpu is still initializing, apparently this crash happens.  I have no clue
why that is true, but I am pretty sure this explains why the the crash happ=
ens
only part of the time and is timing dependent.

It remains true that the most reliable way to cause the crash is to include
amdgpu in the kld_list in /etc/rc.conf and simply boot normally (and to hav=
e a
*ZFS-formatted USB* disk attached to the system).
