Now I'm stuck with a non booting FreeBSD - yeah, that was my fault. kernel.old doesn't work. Either because it's a kernel of BETA3, or because it's already a new world (as from today). Well... I tried to boot a LiveCD, to mount my filesystems and get chrooted and then do a downgrade via cvsup. Unluckily I can't do a make buildworld from my LiveCD System. Probably because the kernel isn't in sync with the world I'm using in the chrooted environment. Looks to me like I should try to save the important data and then do a reinstall ;) Thanks for your help anyway. best regards, Marian PS.: I thought, man, FreeBSD 5.3-BETA3 runs like charm - this will be a great 5.3-release. Then I did the stupid mistake of doing an upgrade to RELENG_5 without checking wether the kernel works or not. Damn Me ;)
