I attempted to upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2-stable of a couple of days ago and when the new kernel boots the "no disk label: and "Root mount failed: 22" also appear. I am told that there is also "ad0: hard read error blk=64 stat=54 ..." or some such. Any ideas? On 05-Feb-01 William Denton wrote: > I have two machines, a fast one and a slow one.
