It has hit a debug exception. Which is quite weird, since normally no debug exceptions are enabled. Also, both %eip and %esp are invalid, although all the selectors are ok. It looks like the loader literally went off into la-la land somehow. One thing you can try to do is to add in lots of debugging printf's to narrow down where it is dying. These aren't overclocked CPU's by any chance are they? > Anyone have any idea what may be going on here? -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
