This started as an automatic reboot every 30 minutes. It appeared something was kicking off at boot and 30mins later it would restart. Or, ACPI would somehow kick in after 30mins to disable the screen or something, which then caused either a freeze or a straight reboot.
Started attempting to diagnose the problem and I got a weird one. I can ssh into the machine, poke around with
I have a suspicion of HDD corruption: fsck(1) found problems with /var/run, though it now marks the fs as "clean". Suggestions? Or should I just begin the backup-and-reformat procedure?
ETA: Tried to disable ACPI using the hint. tunable in loader.conf. Still hangs / reboots.
