Hello,
I am experiencing a "can't load kernel" condition after a clean
installation.
Just put together this box ===>
Award Bios v6.00PG 1984-99 (AI6IS019) AMD 751
Main Processor: AMD Athlon 900mHz
Memory: 512 Mb
Diskette Drive A: 1.44 Mb 3.5 in
Diskette Drive B: 1.2 Mb 5.25 in
Pri Master Disk: LBA, UDMA 66, 40 Gb
Pri Slave Disk: Samsung VG33402A 3.4 Gb
Sec Master Disk: CD-ROM4, Mode3. Matshita CR-572 1.2g
Sec Slave Disk: None
Device Class IRQ's
IDE Controller 14
Serial Bus Controller 11
Multimedia Device 10
Simple COMM Controller 5
Display Controller NA
Network Controller 11
ACPI Controller 9
{just realized possible IRQ conflict - serial bus & network controllers
sharing the same IRQ}
________________________________________
Did initial boot w/ MSDOS 6.2 disk, apparently mfsroot.flp, and boot.flp
were not needed on the floppies, then install seemed to run from CDROM.
Created partition slices, boot manager etc. seemed fine. Sysinstall, had
7 potential network related conflicts, reduced to none after leaving
only the one onboard driver active. On reboot the following occurred
===>
after verification of DMI pool
F1 FreeBSD
F2 DOS
F3 Linux
F5 Drive 1
Default: F1
BTX loader 1.00 BTX Version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS Drive A: is disk 0
BIOS Drive B: is disk 1
BIOS Drive C: is disk 2
{then some memory info here}
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
{------------}
loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
Unable to load kernel
Aborted!
can't load 'kernel'
Can't load 'kernel-old'
Suggestions & recommendations desired.
Thanks in advance
