I booted with kernel.GENERIC and looked at /var/log/messages. There were only boot messages from my last 2 attempts to boot from the kernel.GENERIC even though I had tried booting the new kernel inbetween. Any other ideas? :P -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Coleman Kane [mailto:cokane@one.net] Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2000 12:53 AM To: C J Michaels Cc: FreeBSD Stable Subject: Re: 4.0-S 3/31 KERNEL causes reboot on startup CJ, if you check /var/log/messages, you can see where the system stopped during the detection phase to see what hardware may have caused the problem. /var/log/messages usually has the last three or four boots of kernel messages in it, providing your syslog.conf is set accordingly... --cokane C J Michaels had the audacity to say: > Hi, > I have a spare machine I've been fooling with trying to learn 4.0-S before I > put it on my main machine.
