I had to tell the loader to boot /boot/loader.old and then i copied loader.old to loader and since then i have no problems, but i do this after each rebuild. So, it's clearly something wrong with the loader, but i wansn't able to find something suspicious looking at recent commit logs Niki -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGeBPcHNAJ/fLbfrkRAveBAKCCWHt/yudZf8LbEeFygT0XHLmHCwCgk/vh LKkBwHYfufqBiYfo4xPKsck= =iyft -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
