Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has come across the following error message
during boot - it happens *every* time, so the system never boots -
This is happening while booting from CD-ROM to install FreeBSD
4.4-INSTALL/Alpha (system currently has OpenVMS on the hard disks
which seems to boot okay):
unexpected machine check:
mces = 0x1
vector = 0x660
param = 0xfffffc0000006060
pc = 0xfffffc0000554584
ra = 0xfffffc000052d870
curproc = 0xfffffc0000909a98
pid = 0, comm = swapper
panic: machine check
Uptime: 0s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
This happens after it checks all the devices (last thing it does
before that panic is "de0: enabling 10baseT port").
I thought it might be a memory issue with perhaps faulty modules, but
since the OpenVMS system boots to a login prompt, I have pretty much
discounted that (someone correct me if I am wrong about dismissing
it!)..
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
