    Hi Bosko,

    My kernel panic'd again this morning. I had removed all the USB devices
    from my kernel and had set my /etc/rc.conf to usbd_enable="NO" and the
    kernel panic'd again.

    I have attached both my kernel config file and the trace of the panic. Let
    me know if I can provide any further information to help analyze this
    problem.

    Thanks,
    Stephane Raimbault.
