I upgraded my 7.0 system to 7.1-RELEASE with freebsd-update only to find that it no longer boots correctly, instead crashing with a BTX backtrace. If I break to the loader prompt and use 'ls /boot', I also get a backtrace. A new install of 7.1 on this hardware using a separate SCSI card and drive array also leads to a BTX backtrace. I have copied this below as the first (most repeatable) error and also included the other problems. A fresh install of 7.0 works fine. FreeSBIE 1.0, based on FreeBSD 5.3, also boots fine and will happily list the contents of the original drive's /boot in the loader, although refuses to load the kernel. The FreeBSD 7.1 install CD also boots and allows me to install over FTP. I have run into BTX problems on this machine before under -CURRENT (see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-October/089460.html ).

I will stay on 7.0 for now but have a fairly large supply of spare drives so I can test new installs if required. Thanks, David Adam zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
