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: Verifying DMI Pool Data .......

Invalid partition table_ where _ is the blinking cursor 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.
