Having successfully upgraded one system in-place from 5.4 to 6.0 I had a go at the second system today. This is an old Compaq proliant 1600R with two 500mhz pentium3's in it. Currently running 5.4 quite happily. so I buildworld, buildkernel, insall kernel and rebooot to check that the kernel works... ...and the new kernel will not boot past the point where it says atkdb0: [GIANT LOCKED] (under 5.4 the next thing I get is psm0 for the mouse.) My kernel is (almost) a generic SMP one - the only changes are that I have removed INET6 and all CPU's apart from I686_CPU. I have tried booting this in 'safe' mode, and sevarl other options from the beatsie menu, but no dice. I havent yet tried a straight 'GENERIC' kernel, and given the time of night wont be able to until tomorrow, but am very puzzled as I havent seen anything like this before. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions as to what I might try ? -pcf.
