Lately (over the past few months) I have been having numerous problems with FreeBSD. Well, actually only a single problem that is the machine (dual pentium 133) crashes very often. In hope of finding a stable release of -STABLE (yes, my "-stable" machine is lucky to last a day before a reboot) I have been running cvsup and building and installing a new kernel at least once a week. Please note that also while I have the ddb option enabled a kernel crash never starts ddb. Also, even though I have a crash device set no core image is ever generated. Now, the latest kernel would not boot for some reason and displayed an error before falling to the loader prompt. Having seen that changes had been made to the loader I tried compiling /usr/src/sys/boot/* and installing the files. After all the pieces were installed I did a `disklabel -B da0` and rebooted thinking that this would solve the latest problem. Now I never see the loader and the machine reboots immediately. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. --- Kent Vander Velden kent@iastate.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
