I've been seeing this intermittently on a relatively recent -current. It seems to have started when I added KDB/DDB to the kernel config, but I haven't disabled it yet to see for sure if that's the culprit. Mine is an SMP (dual-core) system if it makes any difference. It stops right after a 'bge0: link up' message. Craig
