If you have access to p4, you can download a patched version of mcelog from //depot/projects/mcelog/... (have to use 'make FREEBSD=yes') which will parse these for you. Hmm, I ran it and here is what it said: HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!

The system that generates these messages is getting long in the tooth. Guess it's time to reboot and run memtest86+ on the system. -- Steve ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

This very much looks like DRAM ECC error. You seem to have family Fh AMD processor, so I am not entirely sure. But for 10h processors BKDG table 80 (NB error signatures) definitely specifies that extended error code of 8 (in bits 20:16) means ECC error. -- Andriy Gapon ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
