Date: 26 Mar 1997 04:10:50 GMT Organization: Grand Valley State University Lines: 28 Message-ID: <5ha7ka$810@news.gvsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: river.it.gvsu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37727 Hi all, I recently upgraded my home system to 2.2-RELEASE from 2.2-GAMMA by following this procedure: 1. Back up /etc. 2. rm -rf /usr/src. 3. Install the dists over my existing system with the install.sh's. 4. Restore /etc. 5. Compile the 2.2-RELEASE kernel (I had to use PNP with it to get my modem, so...) The new system finishes booting the kernel and starts to go into the startup script, at which point I get some sort of panic saying "expected vref wanted vget" or something similar, perhaps the other way around. It then proceeds to attempt to sync my disks (which it sat indefinitely trying to do) and halt. I booted back with my last GAMMA kernel, and it boots up fine. What's going on? I don't *THINK* I used any different kernel options in my 2.2-RELEASE kernel. --- Matt Behrens <behrensm@river.it.gvsu.edu> | NOTICE: Unsolicited commercial http://www2.gvsu.edu/~behrensm/ | advertisements sent to these Zigg Computer Services <zigg@iserv.net> | addresses are subject to a $500 http://www.iserv.net/~zigg/ | fee, pursuant to US Code Title Custom PC's - Consulting - Web Design | 47, Sec. 227(b)(3)(C).
