battery display broken

2011-12-16 Thread Dominic Fandrey

Spinlock panic in FreeBSD 7

(This was originally posted to freebsd-hackers, I'm reposting following email suggestions.) We've observed a panic in FreeBSD 7 (7.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD) several times that we've not been able to track down. Upgrading is not an option at this time. Does this look at all familiar to anyone?
