When the runtime shared object loader, aka /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, can't be found none of your dynamically linked binaries are going to work. In this case, the system is continuously trying to establish getty on your virtual consoles and failing till it eventually says enough is enough, I'll try again in a bit ;). > What can I do to fix this problem.

I suggest booting into single user mode and installing it from the cdrom or recompiling and installing it. You might want to try recompiling and installing since it has changed from 3.1-RELEASE in the current 3.1-STABLE. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
