>Description:
When changing the power profile to economy with these settings in /etc/rc.conf : 

performance_cx_lowest="HIGH"
performance_cpu_freq=${performance_cx_lowest}
economy_cx_lowest="LOW"
economy_cpu_freq=${economy_cx_lowest}

Because I wasn't capable to make a kernel dump, it just doesn't work. So I took a picture of the kernel panic and the small backtrace. Here is the mail discuss.

At the beginning I thought it was a AC cable problem but not, it's only the profile state that make the panic.
>How-To-Repeat:
Change profile to economy with these settings : 

performance_cx_lowest="HIGH"
performance_cpu_freq=${performance_cx_lowest}
economy_cx_lowest="LOW"
economy_cpu_freq=${economy_cx_lowest}
