The machine crashed for reasons still unknown, and then had the following difficulty when booting (transcribed by hand): BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 int=0000000d err=0000fffc efl=00010246 eip=000000c9 eax=830001a3 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000000 edx=3fef0000 esi=00000000 edi=00000000 ebp=000943f8 esp=000943f0 cs=0026 ds=0033 es=0000 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=c4 08 f6 05 65 2e 02 00-10 74 14 6a 01 68 a0 ae ss:esp=a3 08 88 02 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 16 00 00 00 BTX halted This started happening not long after we upgraded this machine (and all of its bretheren in that server cluster) from 4.4-STABLE to 4.6-STABLE, about three weeks ago. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
