Hi there, Yesterday I grabbed the latest source for -stable, compiled and installed as I've done on a number of occasions in the past. Unfortunately this time things didn't go quite so smoothly. After building world and the kernel, I installed the new kernel and rebooted without a problem, then installed world and ran mergemaster. After rebooting the kernel appears to load OK, but when attempting to start init appears to be stuck in a loop. What I see is: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ad0s1: type 0xa5, start 63, end = 39102335, size = 39102273 : OK start_init: trying /sbin/init The cursor then changes from high intensity to normal and just sits there. If I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, I see a couple of lines with waiting, syncing disks and the box reboots If I try and boot from kernel.old, the kernel only manages to display the Copyright message before a page fault occurs. A couple of other things I noticed. Upon booting with -v I see: Creating DISK ad0 ar: FreeBSD check1 failed ad0: <WDC .... I've never booted with -v before so have never seen this. I've managed to mount the disk from another disk with FreeBSD and the date and time updated on all files in /bin and /sbin are from ages ago. I have no idea where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas? TIA. Scott.
