Hi again!

The only response I received said this went away for him when he
replaced the motherboard. Does anyone know what this error message
really means, and does it imply a hardware problem, a setup problem
or a bug?

I am running 2.2.1-RELEASE on an HP XU/200 dual pentium pro. No other
problems, either with FreeBSD or NT.

thanks,
