Hi, I tried to install 5.3-RELEASE from a freshly downloaded miniinst.iso yesterday. Target: old PII/233 with 64mb. HDD being a Maxtor IDE 4gb which I told sysinstall to use completely. When sysinstall does newfs, the kernel panics: ufs_dirbad, "mangled entry". Tried again, same story. Wiping the first some k blocks of the disk (with dd) didn't help either. Same HDD, this time in a PIII/600, 288mb (home-built 5.3 world and custom kernel): Manually newfs(8)d, worked fine. Mounted on /mnt, smooth. Now doing a mkdir /mnt/usr kills the system with the same panic. The only ideas found while googling was to replace a 80pin IDE cable with a 40pin or disabling soft updates. The latter didn't change anything and the cables used were 40p in the first place... Unfortunately I didn't have another HDD at hand to test it, but I will do later today. Any ideas, hints? (Should I PR this?) TIA! - D.
