An HDLC frame had a CRC error and was thrown away.

> Jan 15 15:55:20 deejai2 /kernel: i4b-L1 isic_isac_irq: unit 0: Receive Aborted error

The receive of a frame was aborted due to some error.

Link is dead.

Same again, see above.

A TEI could be assigned. This means that it is possible to use Layer 1 and 2
(at least for negotiating on a TEI.

See above.

Check your hardware - and _ESPECIALLY_ the BIOS settings of your hardware.

Nothing serious with respect to ISDN line handling was changed recently,
the same setup as yours (same card, same rbch/isp use) runs fine here
in several places.

The only thing i can imagine is broken hardware (NTBA, cable, jacks, plugs,
card, etc) and/or timing problems on your hardware due to changes in the
(PCI/ISA) bus handling in FreeBSD - perhaps you have some sort of settings
in your BIOS which were close to some maxes or mins and a slightly changed
way of FreeBSD handling bus transfers and/or setups might trigger your
problems: check BIOS timing settings.

> Can it still be that the NTBA is broken?

Maybe.
