Context: 'Custom' installation of 3.4-RELEASE, system booted from 3.4 kern/mfsroot floppies. I had no problems getting into the top-level 'Distributions' menu. Selecting one of the canned sets (in particular X-kern-developer) works OK. But selecting the "Custom distributions" options produces and instant and systematic segfault. I could not get a core or analysis as the machine of course immediately reboots. There does not seem to be an extremely specific chain of events leading to this situation: segfault is immediate upon selecting the "custom distributions" option, irrespective of the operations performed before. That bug is non-fatal in the sense that it is still possible to install a 3.4 machine with one of the canned filesets, but this makes a custom installation impossible. Makes it pretty serious, IMHO :-) Francois. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
