No

Unfortunately not. It's totally random. Some servers will "get the bug"
and crash daily, some will crash weekly, some might seem to be fine but 3
months later hit this crash.
* are you able to boot some ramdisk-only FreeBSD-8.2 images (eg create
a ramdisk image using nanobsd?) and do some stress testing inside
that?
That's a plan I'd like to execute but my free time for building that
environment is rather short at the moment :(
I'm not that
cluey on ESXi, but there may be some PIC/APIC/ACPI change between 7.x
and 8.0 which has caused this to surface.
Was there a setting to revert ACPI behavior from 8.x to 7.x? I thought I
read about that at one point.... or perhaps this was something available
back in the dev cycle when 8 was -CURRENT. *shrug* I know 9.0 and onward
has even more ACPI changes so assuming it truly is an ACPI bug I guess we
could cross our fingers and hope that the bug has mysteriously vanished?
