Hi Shane, Thanks much for the hints you sent me. Since I'm pretty swamped with work it took me a couple of days before I could go on with my tests. > Can you boot into single user mode?

With "kern.eventtimer.periodic=0" - same result. What other values would be valid for "kern.eventtimer.timer"? > Is the panic the same without the loader adjustments? Yes, absolutely the same. > Does it boot 8.3 ? Haven't tried this, since I need to go to 9.1 on this system anyway. Besides that the server is in a remote DC so changing disks is not an easy thing to do. -ewald
