Hi Rory,
did you see my replies or are you missing them for any reason?
Yes, I have seen your replies. I must have missed the PR you
mentioned
last time, sorry.
No problem!
Your panics and
some aspects about how they happens look like mine to me, look here:

Yes, indeed. That looks very similar to the issue I'm running into
with 6.4-RC2 as well. Sounds like it might be a regression in ata(4).
At least you were able to open the core dump. Are you still able to
open core dumps with RC2?
I'm not sure. I'm running STABLE and I had no panics after the
branch has changed to RC2. It seems that my panics are not frequent
as yours.
Anyway my box freezed a couple of times after last newvers.sh and
the symptoms looked like the same, with messages about acd0. I was
able to ping it but it won't let me ssh in, like it was using all
the cpus.
About kgdb...
I never used freebsd-update, so sorry if I'm saying something
stupid, but could it be the case that the kernel has been built
without debugging symbols or something like that? Does freebsd-
update provide a kernel.debug?
I haven't had to use a the kernel.debug file in the obj dir in a long
time. As far as I know, these days, the GENERIC kernel includes debug
symbols. And in cases when there aren't any debug symbols, that
shouldn't prevent kgdb from loading, I wouldn't think.
