The machine had been up for about 4 years with no major problems as a data warehouse running NT 4.0 & SQL Server 6.5. About 2 months ago we moved that functionality off to another box. We have a load of nt on it currently and it boots and stays up with no problems. I tried all of your suggestions and a few others: 1. Booting with new kernel you provided 2. Booting with only 256MB Ram 3. Booting with only 1024MB Ram 4. Booting with only 1 CPU in the system All produced the same results. Below are the results of one of the attempts using the boot -v option.

A machine check in pal mode is sometimes indicative of bad hardware. Are you running any OS on this box right now? As a stab in the dark, I've tried disabling a probe for the second PCI hose, which we have no way of dealing with even if we do find it. (I've also heard that even though they're documented, they don't exist in the field). I've left a kernel for you to try at: http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/kern.flp This time, please boot verbosely (boot -v) If this fails to work, try pulling the 2 128MB memory modules. Please let me know if either work (the new kernel or the memory pull). Good luck, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
