But exactly the same 10.3 worked for you well before? The same
configuration, modules, sysctl?

Try adding new machines (add new next to another to use different
memory/storage space) with the same configuration exactly the same as
previously worked fine (10.{2,3}-RELEASE?), so you can track whether
this is a hardware or software problem.. mayabe you got into a
corrupted memory/storage region or something changed since
10.3-RELEASE that breaks VM compatibility..

Good luck! :-)
