I'm getting this error message despite disabling all my third-party modules listed in /boot/loader.conf. I'm assuming that all modules stored in /boot/kernel are system modules, and it would be expected that they would all be able to run without kernel panicing during boot? Sorry for my lack of clarity! Where I became unclear was probably in saying "some module". During boot time, once this panic is spewed onto my screen, it doesn't indicate which (system) module it is choking on. This panic occurred in single user mode under 6.0 too, I haven't tried single user mode in 6.1 yet.... ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org --Apple-Mail-15-113976765 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEbjHBCgdfeCwsL5ERAi/DAJ9VNvkrSWwyKBwvO1SaOvHyny+FgQCfUpzY 0rRo8SZ3fXiVXKQqAkdqd0Q= =Ay1H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-15-113976765--
