I'll try to look at it on the bus tonight. See if you can narrow down
if one ACPI component is contributing to this, i.e.
debug.acpi.disabled="cpu" or whatever (see acpi.4 for the full list).
The sysctl run from the rc scripts to get entropy is what triggers the
panic.
I have no idea how acpi can affect the tty mutex.
