They were correct, this simply means that it did not find the second drive, it is a bug still, and no there is not a patch to fixit, and do not remove the patch that makes this happen, it is really just a message telling you that it did not find a valid 2nd disk. >So i presume the following is true also because of the 2nd drive. >> >>checking for core dump >>can't find device 0/1 You are incorect, this means it could not find the swap partition that a dump would have gone in. You probably have a bad disklabel without any swap space. There are a couple of things that could cause this, take a look at the output from this: disklabel -r /dev/rwd0a >So, is there a file descibing all the necessary patches >and unnecessary patches? The patch kit use to have >a file that did just that but i couldn't find it anymore, >and it is too slow to go through 105 patches one by one, >since it is now broken up into different directory. No there is no file describbing the necesary and unnecessary patches, as we (the people real close to the patchkit) feel that they should ALL be installed except the 10000 and 90000 series, those are up to the user. Everybody should install ALL of the patches, a policy change has been made and very rarely should a HACK get into the patchkit. >So that i can deinstall the offending patch, i don't >like to see error message, it add stress to my feeble mind:-) As I mentioned above, you should not deinstall this patch, it will probably cause you more problems than living with a warning message. >On a side note, what happened to 105-108? are they omitted? Yes, they where omitted in a since. Do to a reorganization of the patchset84-110 that was released for BETA testing before the 0.2.2 patchkit these numbers were unused. They have been reused for new patches in the next patchkit. I hope that answered your questions.
