While this was mentioned in the commit log for dumpon.c by phk, I figure I'd save you the loss of a kernel core to find out like the one I lost this morning. In rc.conf (or wherever you load dumpon) make sure you change it to using a raw device. dumpon no longer accepts block devices, as they were just cleaned out of -CURRENT. This relates to the heads up that Brian Somers sent on Sunday. You need to make world first or at least rebuild savecore/dumpon, as ache made some commits to it this morning. IE, old dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf: dumpdev="/dev/wd0s1b" Should be changed to: dumpdev="/dev/rwd0s1b" -- ====================================================================== thomas r. stromberg smtp://tstromberg@rtci.com assistant is manager / systems guru http://thomas.stromberg.org research triangle commerce, inc. finger://thomas@stromberg.org 'om mani pedme hung' pots://1.919.380.9771:3210 ================================================================[eof]= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
