Good Morning! I've been running 3.2R on a compaq i586-84 for a year and felt it was time to move on to 4.0R, so I followed the instructions for a binary upgrade which worked reasonably well EXCEPT: (1) 'startx' (for root or user) fails with a series of messages: Xwrapper: no modules loader for 'xserver' service Authentication failed -- cannot start X server Perhaps you do not have console ownership? [prompts for something here, then continues] X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 [repeats 4 or 5 times] giving up xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error (2) This is a dual boot box (Win95) using the FreeBSD bootloader. The bootloader works fine on a cold boot, but locks solid on a warm boot. Initiating a boot from the install floppy displays the same behavior: fine on a cold boot, 'disc read error, no /kernel present' on a warm boot. The upgrade kernel is GENERIC #0 from the BSDi cd's. Please reply to me at gsollish@mail.gisco.net, as I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks much.
