Hello, I'm not subscribed to this list so please Cc me on any replies. I have an old AlphaStation 255 that I managed to put FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2 on. The install went fine once I got SRM into the bios. After getting it installed, I cvsup'd the current sources and rebuilt the system. Everything built fine but I am unable to boot any of the new kernels I have built. I built both a custom kernel and the standard GENERIC kernel. When I try to boot either of these kernels from SRM, the screen goes from blue to black and then quickly back to blue again. I then get a message that CPU 0 is halted. No other error message is displayed. I can consistently boot the GENERIC kernel that came in the 5.2.1-RC2 dist, but I can't boot any of the kernels that I have built from sources. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have any suggestions? -Brian
