Hi -
My server was running FreeBSD 4.2. It was down one morning last week while I was busy at filing tax
return. It won't reboot up any more and gives me the attached messages repeatedly. I am not sure if
it was a hard disk failure or the kernel file corrupted. If any of you experienced the computer
trouble/problem or know how to fix it please share it with me. I do need to recover my files from
the server if possible. I appreciate your help very much. Any ideas/input are welcome.
Here is the message when I turn on the computer after Memory test is ok:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ....

It stopped here forever, but I could hear 5-6 relay clicking sound inside the computer box.
Thanks a lot.
