Seems like I did not cc my reply to the mailing list.
Doing it now because I found a hint which may
lead to the cause of the reboot loop.

Removing:

linux_load="YES"
linprocfs_load="YES"
linsysfs_load="YES"

prevent the reboot loop in multi-user mode but
leave me without Linux emulation...

Regards,
Denis.

Hi Gordon,

this is real hardware. I found the reason (see below).
Setting hw.lazy_fpu_switch=1 in  /boot/loader.conf makes no difference.
No panic messages.
I can tell you when it happen. Here is the boot messages:
... skipped ...

I noticed that I can boot the *patched* kernel in single user mode.
Removing these 3 lines from the /boot/loader.conf fixed rebooting loop problem:

linux_load="YES"
linprocfs_load="YES"
linsysfs_load="YES"

This machine is used as a test bench to test stuff
before deploying on a production server.
We need Linux emulation support on the production
server to run closed source software...
So... maybe this will help someone.

Blaming evil penguins,
Denis

Sorry to hear you are having a problem.

Just to confirm, this is running on hardware and not on a Xen
hypervisor, correct?

Assuming it's running directly on the hardware, can you see if setting:
hw.lazy_fpu_switch=1
in /boot/loader.conf makes any difference?

Is there any panic message?

Thanks,
Gordon
