Hi All, I agree it is an old kernel but still can you look into the backtrace and guide me how I can proceed to stop the host crash. Below is the backtrace info that is coming as soon as I connect my gadget serial driver supported device(USB) to FreeBSD.

Please work with your vendor who is forcing you to remain on an obsolete kernel version like this, as you are paying them for that type of support, there is nothing that we can do here with this, sorry. good luck! greg k-h
