MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 4.0-cvs X-Originating-IP: 202.6.151.57 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm tracking 4.7 stable. The handbook asks me to: go to single user mode and fsck -p (etc ...) Can't. "/dev/ad2s1a: NO WRITE ACCESS /dev/ad2s1a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY." (Mounted RW according to fstab). after "make buildworld" as single user and reboot also to single user could not "cd /usr/src" - ls shows the /usr directory containing only /usr/local and no other directories. I CAN find /usr/src (and a number of other useful directories ) as root or user. I am next supposed to "make buildkernel # make installkernel". This appeared to work ok (I didn't monitor), but no new kernel appeared in the / directory (I still had my 'old' one). The next step was to be "make installworld" but I have not done this in view of the earlier errors. Can someone figure this out for me and point me in the right direction? Thanks. -- Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
