HI all,
I am running FreeBSd 5.3-REL
Today my system simply locked up. There was no error sent to console, to
any logs, nor the monitor screen. It was totally unresponsive to network,
serial console, or keyboard. After 4 power-cycles, we were unable to get
past the BIOS as it was reporting "RAM R/W error". I have a screen shot
of this from the serial port console, but it is the same as the one from
before. If I hit the "F1"
key to continue, FreeBSD seemingly reports
ACPI-0277: *** Warning: Invalid checksum in table [APIC] (98, sum
84 is not zero)
just before booting. It is after the boot screen, but before the
copyright is displayed by the kernel.
Finally, I turned the machine off for about 2 minutes, then turned it back
on. It was able to get through the BIOS RAM test and reboot cleanly, and
the file systems cleaned themselves up and the database did so as well,
and it appears to be running fine.
Any ideas what is going on.
Thanks
A
