I installed 3.8 on an 1855 with no problems about two weeks ago. All my
apps worked, and had no problems until I rebooted the box (not the first
reboot, and not because of an issue of any kind.) Upon reboot, it fails
to boot right away, with the "now trying bsd.old....etc" messages
finally booting to bsd. Towards the end of the boot process the
following message appears.

Then the message to run ps before reporting this.
The only problem is that the machine is un-responsive at this point.
The only keyboard I can connect is USB (this is a blade) and is not
responsive. I'm not sure how to get the diagnostic information that
would be useful.
I did google this, and the only fix's I found were updating to -current
(but that was in 3.5) and one person said that getting cooling to his
box fixed the problem. I know cooling is not an issue, not even close.
Any advice would be appreciated.
this might be worth looking at:
