ITYM the packages were missing from the ISO image; since this is just the first CD of the 4-CD set released by BSDi, they'll surely be somewhere else on one of the CDs. Or you can download the package from the network using pkg_add -r, or you can build the port by hand; it's not "missing" per se. > Then the wierd things start....

Please see the chapter in the handbook on kernel debugging and how you can obtain useful information from a panic which will allow a developer to track down your problem. Once you have a crashdump and backtrace, post the information to stable@FreeBSD.org (not many developers read questions@). It could be an obscure bug in FreeBSD which you are triggering, but the more likely explanation is probably marginal hardware (heavy activity like compiling stresses the hardware more, and perhaps you haven't seen it under 4.2 because that box has been lightly loaded for a while) Kris --aF3LVLvitz/VQU3c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE65yXTWry0BWjoQKURAoAGAJ9Am7o/sAZwhNccDUr8G7FOeMDH5wCfZDa9 Oo6R4wv7KoPI8sUJk1LR/Xg= =uC8p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --aF3LVLvitz/VQU3c-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
