This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0030_01C19DE9.CC298B20 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable With all thanks due to Joe, Dominic and others on the UK users list, = also to Kris and Ruslan on the FreeBSD-questions list, I'm delighted to = report that I have now successfully upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 using cvsup = and the "make" sequence. Please form an orderly Q for pints the next = time I manage to make it to a social! Part of the problem was certainly the linux emulator. After encountering = the "Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode" during bootup yet = again, I went into /etc/rc.conf and disabled it; subsequent boots have = been sweet as a nut. The first time I successfully logged in with version 4.1 I tried the CD = ROM drive with "mount /cdrom" and it worked fine. I was able to "cd = /cdrom" and "ls" to see the files on a CD, then "cd /root" and "umount = /cdrom", everything working exactly as I would expect. One of the things I want to do is install StarOffice 5.2 though, and to = do that (if I understand correctly) I need to be running the Linux = emulator. I thought to do this by typing "linux" at a shell prompt and = it seemed to start - at least I got the prompt back with no error = message. I put the StarOffice CD in the drive and closed it, did "mount /cdrom" = as before, and got: cd 9660: device busy then tried "umount /cdrom" and got: umount: /cdrom: not currently mounted right back to the same old problem I posted on the UK users list around = New Year, the attempt to solve which having been the reason for the = upgrade from FreeBSD 4.0. I rebooted the box (without the linux emulator), but it still seems to = be locked now into this CD ROM problem. Is it possible that running the linux emulator just once could have = misconfigured something in the ATAPI-CDROM driver file(s)? The cure would appear to be a complete system rebuild and boot without = the linux emulator. I can save any relevant files now (if someone might suggest which), then = do another pass through the "make world" process, then compare the = rebuilt files with the saved ones to try and isolate the problem. The Makefile in /usr/src/sys/modules/linux appears to identify the = emulator version as v 1.34.2.1 2000/07/07. Is there a more recent = version included with later FreeBSD 4.x releases? Thanks for any help.
