Spanning tree instance(s) for vlan 146 does not exist.
!!I then checked the vlan database to ensure it's actually there and it is.
So until this spanning-tree instance is created, there is a loop in my network. I also had problems creating this actual spanning-tree instance. See below.
Only when I physically assigned this to a layer2 switchport did the spanning-tree instance get created.
So when I got this spanning-tree instance created now on sw1, I still was having problems on Sw4.
!! I started by shutting all ports down except fa0/21 and 22.
