G'day, I'm upgrading a Soekris net5501 from FreeBSD 7-Stable to 8-Beta4 (via source). I've done a buildworld, buildkernel, and installkernel. When I try to boot the new kernel, it stops very early on in the boot sequence. The serial console shows: /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x32f9f0 data=0x36374+0x1e580 syms=[0x4+0x40720+0x4+0x592a3] - Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... / The slash at the end is the first character of the spinner as it's loading the kernel. It never shows the second character. I've tried two different kernel configs - my own (from 7 modified to build with 8) and aragon's from http://www.nabble.com/no-time-of-day-clock-registered-on-net5501,-FreeBSD-8-td24544248.html (with the line "options STOP_NMI" removed to get it to build). They both do the same thing. My loader.conf is the same as in 7: beastie_disable="YES" comconsole_speed="19200" console="comconsole" My kernel config is below. Does anybody have any clues please?
