hi, i'm experiencing some weird problem... when 4.2 was in beta i setup a athlon 500(asus board), and copied the freebsd installation from my primary machine ( dual celeron ) to the athlons disk. i had to build a single CPU kernel on the athlon cause the smp kernel did abort during boot. so i went into single user(with kernel.GENERIC), built a new kernel, and booted it. 2-3 seconds after printing the login prompt, the box crashed *every*( i tried ~10 times) time i booted normally(no unusual message during boot,no panic, but it stoped responding to the keyboard/network). but it worked perfectly fine in single user mode.. i spent ~2 hours in single user mode with manually started services and network. i think i even ran a make world.. anyway.. i couldnt find the problem so i went and installed 4.1.1-release from cd. everything worked fine after that, even after updating to 4.2 today, i bought a athlon 1Ghz+abit board(different chipset then the asus), replaced the dual celeron with it, and have exactly the same problem. is a world built on a smp incompatible with single cpu systems !?(i doubt that) maybe its that i choose i686 as cpu type, but why does "single user" work fine then? is there something i'm missing ? i'd be glad to hear any ideas.. bernhard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
