Test installs on ATA disks work fine, but the first boot of the installed disk fails miserably, typically the symptom is that the first shell won't start or similar. I got: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0a /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.6: Unsupported relocation type 1611047936 in non-PLT relocations Observed on one DS10 and one DS10L. The problem does not occur when you use a SCSI disk (which I typically do so I missed this before). Those of you who own this machine type and have a spare IDE drive, can you please test it? Other reports for different system models are interesting too of course. -- Wilko Bulte wilko@FreeBSD.org
