I did a buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel yesterday, and it seemed to work fine. I then went to reboot, to do the installworld. If I try to boot in single-user mode, the startup process hangs right after: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0a If I just boot up normally (not bothering with single-user), it comes up fine. The line that shows up after "Mounting root" is: Pre-seeding PRNG: kickstart. So I do the normal boot-up, and then type `shutdown' to get into single-user mode. Again the machine hangs. I have to power-off and back on to get it's attention. Eventually I booted up multi-user, just killed a few daemons, and ran installworld. That seems to have gone okay. I was able to reboot after doing the installworld, and it comes up pretty much okay (a few minor messages from ntpd, but otherwise nothing seems unusual). A `shutdown -r' also works fine. However, if I try to do a plain 'shutdown now', the machine again hangs. It stops after writing out: Stopping cron. Shutting down local daemons:. Writing entropy file:. Terminated . and never comes up asking me for which shell I want to run (where /bin/sh would be the default). Also, now that I have completely upgraded, I still can not seem to boot in single-user mode, as I described above. Has anyone else seen this? I am working with a slightly odd setup here, so it might be a side-effect of something I have done. My install is working off the regular console (keyboard/monitor setup), not a serial-console setup, on an Ultra-10. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
