Thanks.

I have a vague sense that kernel panics with iwlwifi should have been resolved before 14.3-RELEASE. Bugzilla should be fairly close to definitive, expect info to be copious but well-organised.

Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics], it's harder to find information.

I spent around a year trying to pinpoint the cause(s) of apparently random failures with different (older) hardware. After switching to Kubuntu on the same hardware, I suspect that the issue with FreeBSD was ACPI-related.

If you have crash files from kernel panics: it should be possible to identify, but not necessarily solve, a problem.

Yeah to your point earlier a graphics driver issue seems a likely suspect, still haven't found any evidence yet though. Will keep looking.
