I've always had the same problem with 7-CURRENT/PRERELEASE/BETA1 on 2 
motherboards Gigabyte GA-P-35-DS4 and Intel D975XBX2 i.e. hangs at uptime. 
On both machines I use a small ufs mirror to boot and have everything 
else on zfs.
   It seems that if the restart is attempted soon after the machine has 
just come up then it can reboot properly, but if the machine has been up a 
reasonable time, then it will always hang at uptime. Sorry, can't be more 
specific than 'a reasonable amount of uptime', i.e. a few hours, as the 
cause at the mo. Not noticed a specific action which causes it.
