Upgrade to 10.2 kernel panic

I upgraded today my toy server from 10.1 to 10.2 and I think the upgrade is done ok. Unfortunately during boot I get
Code: 
panic: makedev_cre_dev: bad si_name (error=17, si_name=agpgart)
and it reboots. If during boot I press 5 to use the old kernel then it boots fine. Right now the server is up and running the old kernel. How can I fix this? The box doesn't have any X server installed
 
Try this... (hope it works!)

Kernel Panic:

1.Start Single User Mode (2) start!
2. #fsck -yf
3. #reboot

If the Kernel is O.K.:
!!!no core dumps found!!!
 
I think I somehow borked it worse. I did that but before that I did a pkg-static upgrade -f. Now it boots only in single user mode. In multiuser mode it can't parse anything properly. I get many lines
Code: 
/lib/libthr.so.3: Undefined symbol "__set_error_selector"
 
Yeah. I found that too. Unfortunately there are no sources for libthr to build in that directory. It seems it is going to be a long night ahead.
 
Unfortunately I ended up reinstalling the server. I downloaded the USB image for 10.2 and I again got the error message in the first post. I downloaded the image for 10.1 and everything went smoothly. So it must be some problem with 10.2 kernel. I did found bug 187015 but I don't know how to disable permanently agp in kernel.
 
My crude experiments yield the following info:

To avoid the 10.2-RELEASE panic described in the original post during the current boot:

  • At the boot menu, select 3 Escape to loader prompt
  • At the loader prompt, enter set hint.agp.1.disabled=1
  • Again at the loader prompt, enter boot (not reboot)

Once your system is up, to avoid the panic described in the original post during future boots:

  • In file /boot/loader.conf, enter the line hint.agp.1.disabled=1 (without the set)
