Hi all,

A new boot log but now with freeBSD.

It seems to me that the memory gets trashed by something, but what?

FreeBSD is able too boot, but encouters a interrupt storm. Normally this
is due to faulty PIRQ table, and the only thing that i can think of is
that the memory table gets trashed too. 

Anyone having any ideas.....
