This is a custom kernel build with the QUOTA option, I take out the PAE
option and all makes fine. I did a src-all update with RELENG_VER tag
prior to building. I assume this is a driver issue compatible with PAE?
Also, can I run amd64 release on this Intel Xeon dual proc with 6GB RAM?
Thinking about loading 6.3 amd64 if possible. Excuse my ignorance, I am
not a hardware guy, I am a programmer.

PAE is a horrible hack, and even if you figured out why it won't compile
(probably an incompatable driver in your kernel) it's slow. That particular
CPU will run FreeBSD/amd64 just fine. (I happen to have one) The drawbacks
to FreeBSD/amd64 are mainly in the desktop arena. If this is a server I'd go
for it.

According to http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html the Intel
Xeon (3000-sequence, 5000-sequence, and 7000-sequence) processors use
the Intel(R)64 architecture.
Therefore if your Intel Xeon is in the 3000-sequence, 5000-sequence or
7000-sequence, then you can use FreeBSD/amd64 and use the memory above
4Gb. IMHO it should be more simple and efficient than compiling a
kernel with PAE support.
HTH,
David
