I'm getting: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted panic: ffs_write() (some such) The panic happens with whatever kernel I choose. I'm trying to build a fixit.flp on another machine now for some hours to no avail. I copied the 2.0.5-RELEASE-CD src tree (from the live fs CD) to the disk and try to make RELEASEDIR=/usr/tmp CHROOTDIR=/home BUILDNAME=FIXIT fixit.flp (and some other targets which broke here and there). And it wiped out my /home dir :-( (grrrr) Now I'm trying to build world first and then make relase. Making release only resulted in crt0.o not being found at some early stage. > > Tom > --Chris Christoph P. U.
