Hi! According to http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-hackers_2003/msg03936.html the problem may be related to the <ServerWorks ROSB4 ATA33 controller> and ATA write cache (hw.ata.wc=1). Note however, I had no kernel panic with post-PAE STABLE. I had kernel lockup. I can understand kernel panic due to the faulty devices but not endless loop that it seems to happen. It's known (and noted in the Errata for 4.9-RELEASE) that PAE integration broke hw.ata.tags. Perhaps, its time either to document that hw.ata.wc is broken for noted controller too, either to forbid write cache for it by force. I run my machine using pre-PAE 4.8-STABLE with security patches still. Eugene Grosbein
