Hi again, I never managed to get the 5.1 cd booted successfully on my ultra AXe, but I did do a buildworld to RELENG_5_1 from 9-28. After the upgrade, the machine boots to the end of the kernel messages *mounting root from /dev/da0a", and then I got "PID ?? (fsck_ufs) exited on signal 8" twice, and then nothing more on the serial console. THe machine continued booting normally (I assume anyway, as I could log in via ssh). After a subsequent buildworld, buildkernel, install everything, mergemaster, etc, to CURRENT from 9-29, I get all the startup messages (ssh, sendmail, etc) until the login prompt. The last thing printed is the date. Again, everything else is fine. getty is running. Any ideas why I don't have login prompt on the serial console? -p On Saturday, September 27, 2003, at 06:52 PM, Peter Larkowski wrote: > Hi again: > > Just as a follow up, on my Ultra AXe, it doesn't make any difference > if this is an IDE cdrom or a SCSI cdrom.
