>Description:
I was upgrading PCBSD-8.0 to 8.1 (FREEBSD 8.1) and when the installer was uninstalling the file: linux-f10-atk-1.240, it hung for 10 seconds and then rebooted, consistently many times in a row.  Gave up upgrading and started install from scratch.  Another user reported the exact same problem.
----------------------------

Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode.

cpuid = 0; apic id = 00

instruction pointer   = 0x20:0xffffffff82e395a3
stack pointer          = 0x28:0xffffff80b163a7d0
frame pointer          = 0x28:0xffffff80b163a810
code segment        = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                             = DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1
processor eflags     = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process      = 6687 (ldfonfig)
trap number           = 9
panic: general protection fault

Cannot dump.  Device not defined or unavailable.
>How-To-Repeat:
With PCBSD-8.0 installed, upgrade to version 8.1

Doesn't happen to everyone.
