Any idea? If I was you, I'd play around with the sysctls mentioned above and see if it helps. Start with disabling both mwait and hlt, perhaps machdep.idle=spin machdep.idle_mwait=0 (assuming that 'spin' means hlt will not used) and then if that does not lead to a panic, try enabling mwait. I can't test 2400G since I don't have it any more. I booted FreeBSD a couple of times but did not run it over long periods of time.
