I'd like to try 5.2-BETA on my PC64, it was running 5.1-RELEASE, but when I cvsupped to -CURRENT and followed the build world, buildkernel, installkernel, reboot steps in /usr/src/UPDATING, I now get a kernel stack fault: <loader loads> FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision (root@aylee.number6, Sun Nov 30 04:07:30 EST 2003) Memory 131072 k \ halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = 18110 boot failure So I thought I would boot from the 5.1-RELEASE floppies (thuis machine doesn't have a SCSI CDROM), but they do not appear to have a valid boot block. I tried several different disks, just in case. Can I make the floppy bootable with some tool, or is it a problem with the build? Will there be floppies built for 5.2-BETA (or 5.2-RELEASE for that matter)? cheers, Rob -- Turn on, log in, fight spam. This is random quote 1113 of 1254.
