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 ). Dmesg from 7.0 in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?prp=125769-1-txt&n=/patch.txt A new install of 7.1-RELEASE on separate disks leads to this backtrace: int=0000000d err=00001840 efl=00010207 eip=00000511 eax=04551364 ebx=00000000 ecx=00495cae edx=00495cae esi=00000009 edi=00000001 ebp=00000000 esp=00495cae cs=002b ds=0033 es=0033 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=17 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b9 ae 5c 49 00 00 00 00 b9-ae 5c 49 00 00 00 00 c8 ss:esp=43 18 3c 01 74 08 3c 04-0f 85 e4 00 00 00 0f b6 43 19 88 86 94 00 00 00-c7 46 30 00 00 00 00 3c BTX error on boot with the 7.0 partition that has been upgraded to 7.1: int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00010a92 eip=00000430 eax=ffffff4c ebx=00006c94 ecx=00000001 edx=00000080 esi=00000001 edi=ffff9416 ebp=00000000 esp=0008f8b4 cs=002b ds=0033 es=002b fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=6c 7f 94 48 00 00 00 00-0f af c1 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ss:eip=2b 00 00 00 33 00 00 00-00 0c 04 00 5f ad 08 04 00 00 00 00 0f 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 24 1c 06 00 BTX halted If I break to the loader prompt and try 'ls /boot', I get this backtrace: int=00000006 err=00000000 efl=00010203 eip=00040c08 eax=000000c6 ebx=00000008 ecx=eb000000 edx=000000c6 esi=00000004 edi=000000c2 ebp=00000000 esp=0008f8b4 cs=002b ds=0033 es=002b fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=8f 49 40 00 94 49 00 cb-00 00 04 00 00 00 fc 07 80 00 00 00 04 00 00 00-94 49 00 00 00 00 00 00 ss:eip=00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BTX halted Any thoughts or suggestions? 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
