The > image is 640x480. error 2 is probably a reference to ENOENT from /usr/include/sys/errno.h This means that one of the files mentioned in your loader.conf fails to load, because a file is missing. Are you sure that splash_bmp_load is the correct line there? It looks like the loader is trying to load splash_bmp.ko and fails because /boot/kernel/splash_bmp.ko cannot be found in your root filesystem.

It's been entered into the system, but that's as far as it goes. I have received comments from other users with similar problems, but can't seem to raise anyone in development. Can you help? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Bug followup? Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 15:51:11 -0400 From: Bill Schmitt (SW) To: freebsd-i386@FreeBSD.org A week ago, on 10/1/05, I submitted a bug report (i386/86820) via the online system. I submitted it after posting to the questions@freebsd.org list and, after a little head scratching, the only suggestions that came back were to submit it as a bug. As of now, I've been forced to install release 4.9 from an old disk that I fortunately had, because I cannot boot successfully after an install of 4.10 or 4.11, and the installation disk itself (from a downloaded ISO image) hangs on releases 5.4 and 6 beta 4. I know there's a lot of work going on getting 6 out the door, but so far this seems to be embedded there, too, and in all the versions I've tried (4.9 installs and boots without issue). I'd like to get away from an unsupported version of FreeBSD. Is there any way I can get a hint on how to proceed? From what I can see on the Problem Report screen (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=86820), I'm the only one who's looked at it.

Can you help? The response is all driven by developer time and interest. From what I can tell from the GNATS statistics, the 'kern' PRs that are coming in are primarily from 6.0 and secondarily from 5.4 and -CURRENT systems. Almost none come in from 4.X. (The commits are almost entirely to 6.0 and -CURRENT at this point). This, to me, indicates that this is where the src developers are doing all their work. The disk code in 6.0 has been rewritten twice since the 4.9 days and is thus not instructive for you. I can't really give you much more to go on than that. It would take someone with the exact same hardware who could do a binary search of the source changes to narrow down exactly when things broke. The reality of the situation is that we have far more demand for developers than we have developers. mcl
