I have a Tyan Thunder K8SR w/ 2 amd64's, 6GB of mem, and a 250 GB SATA drive. I've been trying to get FreeBSD 6.2 amd64 on it. When I do the install, if I try to put the ports on, it reliably crashes with a ufs_dirbad. I can install w/o the ports. I found a ref to booting with: set hw.physmem="4G" and that gets me through (w/ the ports). When I buildworld, I eventually get the same ufs_dirbad. I have swapped out the drive and tried a new one (same problem). WHenever I reboot (at all) if I fsck I see lots of filesystem errors. I just did a memtest86 over night, and found no problems. Can anyone help me out here? I can provide any other info that would help.
