I've installed FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE over NFS onto the first drive. While configuring gvinum, I issued the following commands: --- blade# gvinum gvinum -> list 1 drive: D r0 State: down /dev/da0s1b A: 32677/32677 MB (100%) 0 volumes: 0 plexes: 0 subdisks: gvinum -> rm r0 --- At this point, my SSH session to the machine stopped responding and eventually timed out. I presume it rebooted; I didn't get to the console in time, and this was all that was displayed: int=00000006 err=00000000 efl=00010246 eip=0000275c eax=00091300 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000000 edx=00000000 esi=00000004 edi=00003dd4 ebp=00000000 esp=000903fc cs=002b ds=0033 es=0033 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=f0 49 08 28 00 82 07 28-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ss:esp=29 20 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BTX halted This error persists on reboot. I have tried using sysinstall to rewrite the MBR (with /boot/mbr-style booting). The partition table looks like this: --- blade# bsdlabel da0s1 # /dev/da0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 4194304 66924544 4.2BSD 0 0 0 b: 66924544 0 vinum c: 71119692 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit --- Some web searching of the various values has turned up no information that I can understand; where should I go from here? The FreeBSD installer disc1 boots ok on this machine, as did the 7.0-RELEASE install until the gvinum crash. Getting a dmesg out of the machine is proving to be a little challenging but if required I will provide this tomorrow. Please keep me in the reply chain; I am not subscribed to -questions.
