Actually this time it happened on machines with Emulex HBAs.

Since then I tried to reproduce the problem with devfs disabled, and after
some time found a pattern that reproduces this scenario quite consistently.

This time I've been able to see the output of the magic keys in the log:

Any information / pointers will be appreciated.



If any information is missing or anything I should do to help analyze next
time it happens tell me as well.
