I have gotten two more hangs, no panik. Had to go to the debug console
with Alt+Ctrl+Esc. show all locks shows this:
Process nnnnn (softnet) thread 0xffff8000ffffe4b0 (461575)
exclusive rwlock netlock r = 0 (0xffffffff81cfb420) locked @
/usr/src/sys/net/if.c:950
#0 witness_lock+0x41f
#1 if_netisr+0x22
#2 taskq_thread+0x4d
#3 proc_trampoline+0x1c
Process nnnnn (idle0) thread 0xffff8000fffff518 (155781)
exclusive kernel_lock &kernel_lock r= 0 (0xffffffff81e177c0) locked @
/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/softintr.c:87
#0 witness_lock+0x41f
#1 softintr_dispatch+0x56
#2 Xsoftclock+0x1f
#3 acpicpu_idle+0x271
#4 shec_idle+0x235
#5 proc_trampoline+0x1c
Any clues, anyone?
The machine hangs about once a week.
