Hi,
I'm posting to questions now as a last resort. This morning, I installed
UPSMON - 2.1.3 on my PC (Compaq Deskpro 2000) running FreeBSD 3.4.
Evidently, there's some sort of conflict going on involving /dev/cuaa0
because after I installed the port and rebooted, my system hangs
permanently at this message:
Local package initialization:Portname set to: /dev/cuaa0
upsmond<---(this is where it dies)
1. I've tried booting into single-user mode, running fsck and then trying
to mount -u / and then /usr but it won't let me
mount /usr with r/w because it says the file system is still dirty.
I've ran fsck on / and on /dev/wd0s1a and it just keeps
coming back saying that the file system is still dirty.
2. I've tried going into userconfig but didn't get anywhere. Couldn't
find out where to disable device probing. Also
couldn't find any reference to /dev/cuaa0 in here to disable it.
3. I've tried booting from kernel.GENERIC but this doesn't help either, it
still ends up trying to run UPSMOND and it hangs.
4. I've also tried booting from the 2nd CD ROM in the 3.4 CD ROM set and
going into FIXIT mode but didn't get anywhere
with this either.
I've followed everything outlined in the chapter Installation Problems, on
page 99 of The Complete FreeBSD and nothing seems to help. If someone
could provide some information or insight to help get me past this and get
my system booting again, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks
Joe
