Hi

We are experiencing a problem with one of our FreBSD 6.2 machines. The
machine has been running fine for months until we had to reboot it. Now
it doesn't boot anymore. After the boot loader we get what looks like a
register dump:

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)heap
boot: /boot/kernel/kernel\
int=3D0000000e  err=3D00000002  efl=3D00010086  eip=3Dc042426a
eax=3Dc06da7a8  ebx=3Dc06da7a0  ecx=3D00000000  edx=3Df000ff53
esi=3D00000000  edi=3Dc06da57f  ebp=3Dc08f6d4c  esp=3Dc08f6d40
cs=3D0008  ds=3D0010  es=3D0010    fs=3D0010  gs=3D0010  ss=3D0010
cs:eip=3D89 42 0c eb 07 90 8d 43-08 89 46 14 89 5e 10 8d
       46 10 89 43 0c 8b 47 0c-89 43 10 85 c0 74 0b 8b
ss:esp=3D7f a5 6d c0 00 00 8f 00-00 e0 8f 00 64 6d 8f c0
       75 3b 42 c0 a0 a7 6d c0-7f a5 6d c0 20 a5 6d c0
BTX halted

and the machine reboots.

Any suggestions what might be the problem? All I can find about "BTX
halted" references to problems when installing a fresh system and not
out of a sudden on machine which has been running fine before.

Any hints are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dominik
