Unable to load a kernel !
Error Message: Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf Unable to load a kernel ! ' can't load 'kernel' System: AMD Athlon 64 +3000 1.8GHz - 1.0GB RAM - Windows Server 2003 originally installed. Background: Booting from CD FreeBSD seems to install without problems. Create user, add sysadmin password, some utilities. Then system cannot reboot when finished. When done manually, I choose F2 for FreeBSD and the referenced error message appears. Windows boots normally when chosen. Thank you in advance for your help. -- Regards Oscar Chavarria Mobile: +506 814-0247 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Unable to mount HDD - Newbie question
I lost environmental power temporarily a few days ago, and when it was back (almost immediately), the machine restarted without any input from me. I had mounted to /home a 30 GB usb 2.0 hdd. I tried mounting again since I did not find it in df. The prompt is always "WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. The output from dmesg is: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: etc WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. Thanks in advance for any help to mount the disk again. -- Regards Oscar Chavarria Mobile: +506 814-0247 *** The more I know people the more I love my FreeBSD *** --- In a world without boundaries, we don't need Windows or Gates --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Might the hdd be damaged? I guess not since boot recognized > it, right? Please don't top-post and keep the conversation on the list. It seems like you've tried to fsck only the slice (da0s1). You have to fsck the partition itself: # fsck /dev/da0s1d The last letter should be the one you assigned when you labeled that drive.

Re: Unable to mount HDD - Newbie question
If you will excuse me for now. I'm trying to solve the top-post problem. I lost environmental power temporarily a few days ago, and when it was back (almost immediately), the machine restarted without any input from me. I had mounted to /home a 30 GB usb 2.0 hdd. I tried mounting again since I did not find it in df. The prompt is always "WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. The output from dmesg is: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: etc WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. Thank you Paul, tried umount but the result was the same. Tried this: ls /dev/da0* /dev/da0s dev/da0s1 dev/da0s1c dev/da0s1d Thanks in advance for any help to mount the disk again.

USB keyboard not recognized at bootup
I have a GENERIC kernel. The /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file contains the following under the USB Support section (among other devices): device usb #USB Bus (required) device uhid#"Human Interface Devices" device ukbd #Keyboard Nevertheless, the keyboard is useless, not recognized until FreeBSD takes control, for example to choose the type of bootup: safe, single user, reboot, etc. Any help is appreciated.
