Storage is a pair of Seagate ST-3200822A 200GB UATA-100 disks in a mirror group on a 3Ware Escalade 7006-2 RAID controller. Initially, I didn't have a CDROM drive on the machine, so I created a pair of floppies using /cdrom/floppies/{kern,mfsroot}.flp from the FreeBSD Mall CD and attempted to boot from them. After loading both and going beyond the kernel config menu, FreeBSD booted then puked: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 panic: page fault Thinking perhaps FreeBSD 4.10 was being weird, I tried 4.9. It got very slightly further, displaying most of the first menu screen, before the page fault. I then scrounged a CDROM, installed it, and tried booting directly off the CDROM. Same results, both for 4.10 and for 4.9. I also tried 5.2.1 with a similar outcome. I didn't think the 3Ware care was likely to be a problem but just to be thorough I pulled that and tried again. No change. Naturually I've gone through the archives and it seems that others are using the K8V successfully. Any suggestions? -- Karl Swartz |Home karl@kls2.com http://www.kls2.com/~karl/ "The average dog is a nicer person than the average person." - Andrew A. Rooney
