I build everything on a Toshiba U205 Satellite. Things are fine for months on end. I did this on June 8th. Everything was fine. I did this on June 10th. The machine no longer booted. The entire root partition got clobbered. I reinstalled a snapshot of 7-STABLE from May 28th that I had put on a DVD. Everything was once again fine. I then sync'd again this morning June 11th with 7-STABLE, did a full build, and reproducibly, BOOM - the entire root partition got clobbered. Gone. Again. After the reboot it just comes up with: BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02 Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 and stops. Nothing else is printed. There is no choice of how to boot. There is no files for me to send, no log files to inspect, no remnants. I unfortunately did not see where in the build this happened. My build does the canonical steps exactly as outlined in / usr/src/Makefile and then does a reboot. It builds userland and the kernel. When I inspect it from the bootable DVD the partition that my root filesystem was in has no association with it having the root any more. The partition is listed, but it looks like it had been freshly partitioned. Something is very, very wrong. Ideas? Dan Allen
