Hello, I have a few problems with the latest version of FreeBSD, 2.2.2-RELEASE. Sorry for the long story, but it really takes that to understand my problem. I'll try to make it as short as possible. I always make an upgrade by getting the sources from the FreeBSD ftp site, "untaring" them, compiling the kernel and then compiling the rest of the system. I started to upgrade from FreeBSD 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 lately. After recompiling the kernel, I started the compilation of the system and left the computer compiling. When I came back from work, the computer had rebooted itself and was was waiting for a root/single-user session because it found that a file system was salvage. fsck indicated that some file were damaged, so I choose to delete them. I then decided to reinstall the sources in case some of it's files were now missing. When decompressing, tar returned this message for some of the archives: Extracting source component: contrib gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error tar: child returned status 1 I then executed both md5 and cksum to see if files were effectivelly corrupted, but it seems that everything was fine. I re-runned succesfully the install.sh script for the sources that didn't install right. I then made a 'make world'. When I came back again (still there?), compilation had worked. But a was curious about that crc error thing, so I tryed to re-run the script install.sh all over again. 'tar' showed me again crc-errors, but for different set of archives. It could be, for example, games and ubin the first time, and then bin, gnu, lib, and usbin ther second time, and the like. I then remade the /etc directory and the kernel configuration file from the 2.2.2 sources and rebooted/recompiled everything, whitout success. The system even rebooted itself twice again while uncompressing sources. The second time, X Window was off, and the third time I was in a single-user session (from kill -TERM 1). I don't know anymore what to try. I think there is a compatibility problem between the power management of my mother board and the latest (new?) FreeBSD drivers that manage it, so I disabled it. FreeBSD stopped trying to 'shut down' the CPU or something like that (why is it doing this?) when typing 'reboot' at command prompt or after typing 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete', so this may have solve the rebooting problem, but nothing yet solved the crc-error problem. Here is a description of my system: - AMD486DX2/66 - Pine motherboard (Novell certified) with PCI slots and integrated EIDE controllers - 24MB of memory - 500MB Quantum HDD and 1.2MB Maxtor HDD on primary controller (flag 0x80ff80ff) - ATAPI cdrom on secondary controller - 20MB swap file on the first drive and 20MB swap file on the second drive - PC internal speaker (that's it! I found the problem :-) ) It was operated with success with theses OS: - Windows 3.1 - Windows 95 - FreeBSD 2.1.0 - FreeBSD 2.1.5 - FreeBSD 2.2.1 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
