I'm mainly interested in how to generate the necessary debug/core information, so that others more skilled than myself may find the cause of this problem. I'm not sure how to proceed given the boot media is read-only. Compaq 1850R Dual PIII 600Mhz * 512MB RAM Adaptec 2940 *same problem happens with single cpu I've placed the console output at the end of this email. I've clipped some of the boot data, the full output can be found here: http://ra.dweebsoft.com/console.html Once the host fails, it locks hard. Num-lock fails to toggle, and Ctrl-Alt-Del won't reboot the host. Also, even if no keys are struck, the host fails to reboot itself after the reported 15 seconds. ------------------------------- During the boot (prior to my specification of set console=comconsole) the following error is reported on the vga console acpi: bad RSDP checksum (224) FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 16 22:16:53 GMT 2003 root@hollin.btc.adaptec.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC Preloaded elf kernel "/boot/kernel/kernel" at 0xc0a60000.
