That's a good start.

Can you confirm that you have either deleted or renamed /boot before replacing it with files from the CD. An out-of-sync module does sound the most likely problem. If that doesn't help, please start DDB and get a backtrace. > I've run a memtest, and it checked out fine. Note that memtest cannot prove that your system doesn't have a problem. There are far too many states that your system could potentially be in. DRAM is especially susceptable to pattern- dependent and temporal glitches. >There must be something in my user space or world that it barfs on.

If you're not sure where this is being triggered, you could try adding 'rc_debug="YES"' to your rc.conf (or even a 'set -x' if you are getting really desperate). This will make the boot sequence far more verbose. -- Peter Jeremy
