Hi
We are experiencing a problem with one of our FreBSD 6.2 machines. The
machine has been running fine for months until we had to reboot it. Now
it doesn't boot anymore. After the boot loader we get what looks like a
register dump:
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)heap
boot: /boot/kernel/kernel\
int=0000000e err=00000002 efl=00010086 eip=c042426a
eax=c06da7a8 ebx=c06da7a0 ecx=00000000 edx=f000ff53
esi=00000000 edi=c06da57f ebp=c08f6d4c esp=c08f6d40
cs=0008 ds=0010 es=0010 fs=0010 gs=0010 ss=0010
cs:eip=89 42 0c eb 07 90 8d 43-08 89 46 14 89 5e 10 8d
46 10 89 43 0c 8b 47 0c-89 43 10 85 c0 74 0b 8b
ss:esp=7f a5 6d c0 00 00 8f 00-00 e0 8f 00 64 6d 8f c0
75 3b 42 c0 a0 a7 6d c0-7f a5 6d c0 20 a5 6d c0
BTX halted
and the machine reboots.
Any suggestions what might be the problem? All I can find about "BTX
halted" references to problems when installing a fresh system and not
out of a sudden on machine which has been running fine before.
Any hints are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dominik

If the symptoms persist, try taking this opportunity to install 6.3 (you have backups of all the data and configurations, right?) and see if that helps. If not, your disk is toast. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
