The motherboard is a Tyan K8S Pro (S2882) with 12 GB of PC2700 ECC memory. If I limit the memory by setting 'hw.physmem="8G"' in the loader or in /boot/loader.conf, then the system boots fine. Any other setting above 8G will result in the above panic. The panic occurs too earlier to get a crash dump. However, I'm will to try any patch or settings. -- Steve
