After the system wrote several files it freezes. I can type something into the console, type Ctrl-T offers some messages about "install xxx xxx xxx" or similar. I followed the steps recommended when upgrading: make buildworld, make kernel, reboot kernel in single user mode, make installworld. I also realzied, that booting an alternative kernel (I saved my old kernel) results in a stuck console (single user kernel, normal booted kernel, both beta 6 and beta 7 kernels). After crashing and trashing my system two times and rebuild took three days I did a final experiment: installed BETA6 from disk (got a lot of BTX loader haltet, but I realized this was due to some memory problems I never had before). Then did a cvsupdate to get the most recent BETA7 stuff, compiled a kernel, booted this kernel in single user mode and did simply a 'find /'. After a few seconds the system froze at the same point as when doing a regular installworld. I rebooted the the system into multiuser mode with the same kernel (BETA7) with ACPI/SMP enabled and did a installworld the old way using the /usr/src/installworld_old script. Everything got installed well! My kernel config is a GENERIC config with several driver not used commented out. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
