Subject: reboot after watchdog timeout

Hi folks,

A few days ago, I encountered a spontaneous reboot a few minutes after
my ethernet cabling went haywire (LAN broken as long as a PC was plugged
in on my cable). This was the only interesting stuff in /etc/messages:

Mar 31 11:09:48 axl /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout
Mar 31 11:09:48 axl /kernel: xl0: no carrier - transceiver cable problem?

Has anyone else seen these, and is the scenario in which I encountered
them typical?

FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Apr  1 12:21:27 SAST 1999 [...] i386:

xl0: <3Com 3c905 Fast Etherlink XL 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x00 int a irq 9 on pci0.10.0
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:08:10:10:0a
xl0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
