Last night around midnight EST I cvsupped and did make buildworld, config
-r'ed my kernel, compiled it, installed the kernel and did make
installworld. I rebooted expecting the system to come up fine but it
failed with "Invalid partition table".  This was just after removing 2 of
3 of my dimm's becauseI thought they were causing a seperate
problem.  The system is not overclocked, but SMP. Attempting to boot
kernel.old left me with the exact same problem.  Here is what my screen
says:

I am not afraid of using the fixit disk if I have to, but I also have a
spare 5g disk I could toss in and install freebsd on if that would be the
easiest way of fixing this.   ANY suggestions or insight to the problem is
appreciated!
