260 crashing with Error message Panic: sleep

[Joerg Schilling]

The message "panic: sleep" means that the kernel sleep() has been called
from within an interrupt routine. This is normally the done by bad device
driver. First check, if you are using a generic kernel i.e. no driver
installed which is not written by sun. If the bug is still there try to
boot kadb and type $c after the crash: you will see a stack trace from the
kernel including the routine which called sleep(). 

I hope that helps you in finding the bad guy tha calls sleep().
