USB kernel panic on 7.3-RELEASE amd64 during Dell PowerEdge 2950 DRAC reset
Hello, today we decided to add a new SSL certificate in the DRAC subsystem of one of our Dell PowerEdge 2950 III servers. During the final step of that procedure DRAC resets itself in order to load the new certificate. The result of DRAC's reset was a kernel panic of the 7.3-RELEASE amd64 that runs on that system. The panic messages seem to be USB related and are available at: http://noc.ntua.gr/~christia/2010-06-16_163545.png The memory dump completed successfully(?) but the subsequent kgdb backtrace failed with the following output: # kgdb /boot/kernel/kernel /var/crash/vmcore.0 GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Any advice to collect more useful debug info is welcome. Regards, Panagiotis
