X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 15:07:54 -0000 Hello list, Yesterday I upgraded to latest -CURRENT.Although the build and installing was successful, the system refuses to boot.It stops at the boot sequence with the following error: Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0: panic: free: guard1 fail @0x5195c from /home/ncvs/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../common/module.c:957 --> Press a key on the console to reboot <-- I cannot figure out what kind of problem is it.It's weird that the system cannot find which disk to boot from.I didn't have such problems at past and I run CURRENT at this desktop for over a year.Also I want to add that I cannot either boot the kernel.old , as it hangs when I try : kernel /boot/kernel.old/kernel at boot prompt. If you have any ideas, you're welcome! Thank you. Ilias Marinos
