I've been working with Simon Shapiro with a problem occuring with freebsd 2.2.7 and a dpt raid controller that apparently raises its ugly head on some systems... Simon has told me to try out the Oct 4th snapshot as he has not been able to reproduce the problems on this version... however, I've been running into some problems trying to install the snapshot... i downloaded the boot.flp, booted it, then proceed to go through the normal install... I tell it to use the entire drive, then begin to slice it up into filesystems... I tell it which versions to install, and such, set up the network interface so I can install from the internet as always, the problem I have occurs when it tries to newfs the swap partition (and doesnt get any further) Debug reports "DEBUG: unknown major/minor for devtype -" ( I believe this is in reference to da0, disk array 0, for raid array) I get the message on the debug console where it gives "Cross device link" error in newfs and then a rewrite label error. Install then dies at this point, and never continues... The install program returns an error, and I get booted back to the menu system. Please advise?
