April Fools ?? X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 06:17:29 -0000 I have attempted to install 5.2.1-RELEASE on four (very) different computers today: - dell inspiron laptop - toshiba libretto - some other toshiba laptop - Intel N440BX p3 server (with fxp0 and Intel onboard SCSI) Every single time, I boot off kern.flp, move on to mfsroot.flp, and as sysinstall is booting, after most of the dmesg has passed by, it suddenly starts spitting out error messages at an extremely fast rate. The error messages are always the same - I can't read it all because it flies by too fast, but there are only two lines that repeat continuously: A line that starts with: spec_getpages A line that starts with: vm_fault: pager One of the lines ends with: 0xc4866000 (can't tell which) One of the lines contains: md0: I/O read failure One of the lines contains the word: sysinstall And that's that. This happens _no matter what machine_ I try to install 5.2.1-RELEASE on - and as you can see, I tried it on several very different machines. I tried disabling things like USB, etc., to no avail. So the question is, has any person, anywhere, at any time, successfully installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on any hardware whatsoever ? Or is it just a practical joke release ? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
