I have an AMD K6-II 200Mzh processor on an Intel board (think it's a shuttle but not sure). It's and AT board with a 250 Watt power supply and only has an ISA modem (56k not sure of the brand), LinkSys ISA PnP combo NIC card and an ISA 1 meg video card. Everything works and the system and I don't appear to be having any problems, but this error concerns me. I've installed FreeBSD on this system before with the same hardware only changed the Case and a Hard drive (updated from a 500 Meg to a 4.3 Gig), and never had this error before. Any Ideas on what could be causing this. Here's what is the boot section from the message log. /kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc. /kernel: Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 /kernel: The Regents of the University of California.
