After a pretty severe crash, I rebooted to find my kernel unloadable. Not just the normal kernel, but kernel.old, .prev, and .GENERIC. With some fixit disk fun, I was able to find a bootable kernel, and I am currently making world up to 3.1 stable. (Was at 3.0 stable.) The error message was during the bootloader, as it sucked in the kernel: "elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed input/output error" What could have possibly caused this? Ideas/suggestions are appreciated, as I am crippled without this machine. :) Mahlon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
