hi list, this afternoon i decided to update my freebsd 5.1 box to 5.2. i wanted to try the binary update through sysinstall to save myself some time. i've done the source update on my server some months ago to 4-stable, and it worked just fine. this is what i did: selected "base", "src"(did not get updated) and "man" to be updated, entered the devices and mountpoints and started. after beeing prompted to restart, i gladly saw the 5.2-release beeing showed at boot and just after that the kernel crashed with the following message: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault code: supervisor read, page not present panic: page fault. now, after unsuccessfully retrying the proceedure and even trying to "downgrade" back to 5.1 by booting the 5.1iso and selecting upgrade, i've booted freesbie and now i'm stuck. is there any hope to save my installation? i thought of copying the /boot partition from freesbie over to my wasted 5.1 installation, just to get it booting and then retry updating by source. i would really love to get all back up like before i started all this. the system was except some trouble with my soundcard perfect! to be frank, i didn't read the UPDATING file, because i thought it would relay to updating by source, so i'm aware of my faulty act. i would really appreciate help. i'm totally new to this kind of problem with freebsd; it never rejected to boot on me. thanks in advance, Espen Jervidalo ________________________________________________________________ Diese Mitteilung wurde von http://www.teleport.ch uebermittelt.
