Kernel Trap

Sorry, I tried to add a comment with this screenshot but it didn't quite wo=
rk
as expected :)

So first of all reverting c583b02587 did nothing at all as I'm observing the
same symptoms as Ben.

I've managed to painfully install the lastest snapshot with a machine
continually freezing (running okay for 15 secs then fans running full blast
during which the computer is unresponsive for a minute of so).

Once the install completed, I did a reboot and I was welcomed by a Fatal Ke=
rnel
Trap like the one I've posted, sometimes I get to see it and others the mac=
hine
reboots immediately.=20

I then tried to take an image from the drive with my FreeBSD PC but I can't=
 see
any partitions on it (I don't remember if the install wizard defaults to UF=
S or
ZFS).

Please let me know if that would be of any use for troubleshooting.

I haven't yet tried Ben's patches but if it works for him there is a chance=
 it
would work for me as we're using the same HW, I'm super happy that we're ma=
king
some progress !


Also there is something rather strange I've noticed with recent Images, If I
boot them while holding C (cdrom) all I get is a black screen with fans roa=
ring
immediately=20

but if I use the option key instead and wait for the watch cursor to turn b=
ack
to a regular mouse cursor I'm able to boot just fine, I'm guessing that mig=
ht
be caused by a bunch of OF variables.


Thanks everyone for your efforts so far !
