The following reply was made to PR amd64/97019; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Joachim Fritschi <jfritschi@freenet.de> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, haxor777@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: amd64/97019: Cannot load the kernel after installation on Supermicro H8DAR-T Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 21:52:28 +0200 Had a similar problem on my t22 thinkpad (i386). The kernel was simply missing after serveral installations. I did 6.1-RELEASE standard installations with several different configurations regarding slice setup /mbr (allways the whole hd for freebsd) and installation medias (ftp and cd). All failed with a missing kernel. After finding this bug report i started to investigate a bit. With debug on i can see a few error messages on the debug console: DEBUG: Executing command 'rm -rf /boot/kernel' DEBUG: Command 'rm -rf /boot/kernel' returns status of 0 DEBUG: Executing command 'mv /boot/GENERIC /boot/kernel' mv: rename /boot/GENERIC to /boot/kernel: No such file or directory DEBUG: Command 'mv /boot/GENERIC /boot/kernel' returns status of 1 I tried to install again to get some more debug info on the next "try" and suddenly it worked. I have not changed a bit and have absolutely no clue what the problem was. I would be happy to investigate some more if someone could tell me some neat way to log the debug console of sysinstall or any other debug technique for the problem. --- Joachim
