Alpha ref machine is grumpy...

The alpha architecture reference machine in the cluster has been grumpy
about the -current kernel for the past two days.  This is what we're
getting on the console:

FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision 1.2
(root at beast.freebsd.org, Mon Feb 23 07:07:25 PST 2004)
Memory: 2097152 k
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/kernel/kernel data=0x34d3f0+0x3cb60 syms=[0x8+0x50580+0x8+0x40604]
 
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
Entering /boot/kernel/kernel at 0xfffffc000033e3e0...
 
halted CPU 0
 
halt code = 2
kernel stack not valid halt
PC = 4
boot failure
P00>>>

If anyone has hints what the problem is or if anyone needs me to
do anything to help track it down let me know.  It (beast) is back
up and running a 3-day old kernel.  The other two ref machines in
the cluster (amd64/sparc64) don't seem to be suffering from whatever
this problem is, their daily rebuild/reboot cron jobs have been
working fine.

Thanks.
