Worked for me too when upgrading a machine from 4.10 to 5.3-beta7. The only 
issue that I possibly saw was that I had to improperly shut down the machine 
and when it came back up again, since they are ufs1 parititions, fsck didn't 
want to run on them (fsck_ufs worked though), and the kernel decided to panic 
because of this... (had to reboot in single user and remove the devices from 
fstab) I don't particularly want to improperly shut down the machine again 
and possibly corrupt my RAID in order to reproduce this though :)
