Can anyone shed any light on this please? It appear as if I've introduced a memory allocation problem into my FreeBSD-stable (2.2) machine. :( I've just done a cvsup/make/install operation, and rebuilt the kernel from my old config file. Now the system won't boot. It gives the following error (copied by hand): ccd0-3: Concatenated disk drivers swapon: adding /dev/sd0b as swap device swapon: adding /dev/sd1b as swap device swapon: adding /dev/sd2b as swap device Automatic reboot in pregress... /dev/rsd0a: clean, 658202 free (...... etc......) cannot alloc 7179074 bytes for lncntp /dev/rccd0a: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM. /dev/rccd0c: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. It then breaks with a the usual single user shell prompt. If I fsck then I find no problems, and it runs! Exiting the shell causes the 'innd' process (yep, it's a news server) fire up. It then fails with: Sep 1 20:33:13 zebedee innd: SERVER cant malloc 1394460 bytes Cannot allocate memory If I run rc.news by hand it starts fine. Does anyone know what's happened recently to cause this memory limiting effect at boottime? Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.
