After a (so far I can tell) successfull upgrade procedure from FreeBSD 4.3 release to 4.4 stable, I reboot after a 'make installworld' and see the following msg. after getting thrown into single user mode: '<date and time> init: fatal signal: bus error' and a reference to ufs: /dev/ad0s1a Trying to boot my previous kernel or the generic one also fails w/ the same msg. I fsck'ed all partitions, no errors were found. But: I recently had fsck find inconsistencies on my ad0 HD related to soft updates (they are turned on for /var and /usr) that had made it impossible for me to delete a directory in /usr/ports, causing in turn the ports upgrade procedure to fail. That got fixed, however. I am to assume there is something wrong w/ my harddisk ? On _rare_ occasions, I HAVE seen the BIOS msg: 'Primary Master hard disk failed' Or is my motherboard causing this ? At any rate, I am now doomed to use MS Windows until someone gives me a hint or two (talk about incentive!) Inge E.
