after upgrading FreeBSD-7.1-releng-p9 to Freebsd-8.0-releng-p1 from source, I get a boot ERROR !
build world and the lot went OK, 1st boot and installworld as well, after "mergemaster" process and the following reboot I get this boot message and get stuck: LOADING /boot/defaults/loader.conf error: stack overflow error: stack overflow ..... ..... error: stack overflow .. | can't load 'kernel' (manual boot works but I get this errors:) OK boot .... GEOM: ad0: partition 1 dose not start on a track boundary ad0s1a expected rawoffset 0, found 63 well as far I asked "google".... there is no good answer to work around that regarding a upgrade from FreeBSD-7.1 to FreeBSD-8.0... actually I get the same error by upgrading to FBSD-7.2 as well by my /boot/defaults/loader.conf is the one coming with FreeBSD-8.0-releng-p1 and is unchanged ! after the "error: stack overflow" I can "boot-s" and "boot" in to the system, but my "GELI /swap" partition is not found or used........ but the hidden drive is working after manual boot ?! there is something going on with GEOM....... (the disk was new and was formatted while installing FreeBSD-5.4-releng years ago).. since than any FreeBSD-5.x, 6.x, 7.0+7.1 installed from source with out any problems. my /etc/fstab: -------------------- /dev/ad0s1b.bde none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1f /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 hidden drive working well after manual boot ! /dev/ad0s1g.bde my /boot/loader.conf: -------------------------------- currdev="disk1s1a" module_path="/boot/modules" root_disk_unit="0" rootdev="ad0s1a" vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:ad0s1a" kernel contains: ------------------------- options GEOM_PART_BSD # GUID Partition Tables. options GEOM_PART_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options GEOM_PART_MBR # GUID Partition Tables. options GEOM_BSD # BSD "encrypting Filesystem" support options GEOM_BDE # BDE "encrypting Filesystem" support options GEOM_ELI # ELI "encrypting Filesystem" support options GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization options GEOM_MBR # MBR "encrypting Filesystem" support the funny thing is, that if I put a faulty "currdev" string in to loader.conf, that I only get a error regarding syntax error for currdev and the normal boot process is starting the right kernel... well with some other errors than.... but is booting automatically. need help to get FreeBSD-8.0-releng-p1 up and running as normal....... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
