Hello, and happy New Year to all! I'm hoping to update all our servers to 7 in the near future. As such, I'm experimenting with it on one of our less prominent production servers. My procedure for it's installation and usage: download 7-CURRENT disk1 iso (B4) from nearest freebsd mirror install choice - minimum + src make config options, reboot download cvsup-no-gui pkg cvsup ports + src (above procedures performed 2007-12-30) (above procedures again performed on 2007-12-31) In every case, I wiped the hard drive, performing a fresh install. After initial install. Sending a halt, in order to reboot the system results in garbled messages to the console. Specifically, the Syncing disks... message is unintelligible. As does is line preceding it. Also. After syncing the source, I altered/renamed GENERIC and performed build/world/kernel, and install/kernel/world. During the buildworld process I recieved more warnings than I can recall seeing in previous versions <= 6. ee (aee) resulted in "Illegal instruction... core dumped" after the build/install process. FWIW this is on an i386 2 proc MB. Given the many changes in 7, I spent more time reading the doc's and errata than I have spent in previous versions. Thank you for all your time and attention to this matter. -- panic: kernel trap (ignored)
