Did you > build a new kernel from the new sources and install it? Actually its even more complex, what I neglected to mention earlier is that I had been trying to upgrade (unsuccesfully) to 4.0-stable, and had gotten as far as make buildworld and then tried make kernel=RED which failed. After that I did what I mentioned in the last mail, i.e. downloaded the 3.5-stable sources and then make buildworld. I never at any stage installed either the built 4.0-stable binaries or a new kernel. My biggest problem is that since the machine is booting in single user mode, I can't even rebuild the kernel 'coz the file system is read-only. I have tried booting from an older kernel and from kernel.GENERIC with the same results. Any ideas? .hasta luego Scott Dukes (scott@kryptonite.co.za) blue.Kryptonite (http://blue.Kryptonite.co.za/) .a: 161 Tenth Ave, Morningside, Durban, 4001 .p: +27 31 312 1122 .f: +27 31 312 1122 .c: +27 83 661 3880 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
