Hi,
I built a new system trying to be low power so I used an Atom processor (so it's 32-bit) with 4 2T drives and 4G of RAM (system on a USB stick). I found the same error being reported (http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?256-vm.kmem-Size-Error-and-Prefetch&highlight=kmem+panic) in a few posts (including some every old ones) with the solution to add:
vm.kmem_size="512M"
vm.kmem_size_max="512M"
to /boot/loader.conf.
While the kernel will boot and initially run, it also panics just later in time compared to not setting the value. It is always reproducible. I just have to start copying 10-20 gig of data to the ZFS CIFS share. I found another post (http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=964272) which said make it even bigger (3g instead of 512M. The system won't boot up at all with this setting.
Is somebody working on this issue? Since I want to use the Atom for the power savings moving to a full high end 64-bit system isn't a solution. I might have to move to OpenFiler or something like that if this can't be resolved.
