I just cvsupped a few hours ago and rebuild world and the kernel. After the build, I noticed that my CD-ROM drives no longer worked, corrected the kernel config file to use wcd0 instead of acd0, and while I was at it, updated the bootloader config as per the instructions in /usr/src/sys/boot/README. Upon rebooting with the new kernel, I attempted to log in, but random text began appearing on the console, and then the machine ceased to be responsive. I power-cycled, logged in, started x, putzed around, switched back to the console, left for a while, and returned to find the console hosed again. It seemed to be accepting keystrokes, as I could produce audio, but the display would not change. Anyone else having this problem? Any clues as to what might be wrong? -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org daemon(n): 1. an attendant power or spirit : GENIUS 2. the cute little mascot of the FreeBSD operating system To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
