Sounds like you have a version mismatch between /boot/loader and /kernel. Earlier 3.x /boot/loader versions can't boot later kernels, even if both are ELF. If you cvsupped the kernel source, then cvsup again and get the /boot stuff source, then remake the /boot files and a new kernel. It _might_ work to just copy in a later version of /boot/loader, but no promises. The preferred way is to have the complete sources on line and just "make world". > > Hello, > > Everytime i compile a new kernel i cant seem to boot it. > I get this error during boot. > > /Kernel test=0x1c82f6 > elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed > cant load kernel > > After that i get a prompt like this > disk1s1a:> > > I type then boot kernel.GENERIC and it boots. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks > Chris [html elided] -- M.
