And it's been updated, so the problem is that it doesn't like your kernel. It's possible that you have outdated sources, but apart from that I can't think of anything that would cause it to fail if it's up to date. Try booting the kernel directly from the boot2 phase; when the spinner stops briefly before the loader starts, hit a key and specify the name of the new kernel. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
