Does your system use an Acer Aladdin chipset -- that's the ALi driver?
There's an open bug report about that chipset resulting in panics
similar to what you've seen:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D47167
You'll see a line like:
agp0: <Ali Generic host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xe3ffffff at dev=
ice
0.0 on pci0
right before the panic line. The only advice is to try disabling ACPI
on boot, but there's no indication that actually helps.
Cheers,
Matthew
