I did as follows (pretty much along the lines of UPDATING): - CVSup everything RELENG_4 from a server - make buildworld - make buildkernel KERNEL=myown (tuned down from generic) - make installkernel KERNEL=myown - cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod ; make install - cp /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV /dev ; cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV ad[01]s[12][a-h] (all entries used in /etc/fstab) - Changed all references to wdXX to adXX in /etc/fstab - reboot [ - after the reboot I had the intention to finish the update process. ] Now, the bootup process hangs after printing: Mounting root from ufs: wd0s1a [or similar] There is no disk activity. CTRL-ALT-DEL works only sometimes (prints out stuff like killing bufdaemon, etc.) I booted the system using kern/mfsroot/fixit.flp combo, rebuilt kernel (this time GENERIC) and installed it. The same freeze happened with GENERIC kernel too. The same also happens if you tell boot loader 'boot -a' and choose ufs:/dev/ad0s1a. The system in question is P90, with buggy CMD640 chipset (identified as such). 100% same procedure worked fine on my other, P2 system. Anyone used CMD640 chipset system w/ FreeBSD-4.x? Have you had any problems. Any ideas? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Pekka.Savola@netcore.fi not those you stumble over and fall" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
