As just has been posted on another similar thread in FreeBSD-stable mailing list, booting in multi-user can panic trying to load 3.x's linux.ko. You should boot single-user, mount / and /usr read-write, and proceed with installworld. Do not forget to upgrade your /dev and /etc. After that, reboot in multi-user. -- Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA of the ru@ucb.crimea.ua United Commercial Bank, ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer, +380.652.247.647 Simferopol, Ukraine http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
