Subject: Re: kern/34648: Kernel panic when using NFS root and configuring an
 interface that needs firmware
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 18:21:43 +0200

 Hi,
 
 I'm not sure that's the cause for this panic, but it's possible that
 it happens because we pass FSCRED from firmware_open() which the NFS
 code then tries to dereference.
 
 Perhaps yamt@ can shed some light on this?
