GRUB does not boot FreeBSD after installworld ...
HI, i have updatete to 6.1-PRERELEASE and after the installworld step GRUB is unable to boot FreeBSD. After i did the installworld and rebooted the GRUB error was: 23 : Error while parsing number I have reinstalled the standard FreeBSD loader for now. Booting with a GRUB boot-floppy i am able to start either XP or Linux but trying to start FreeBSD the system just reboots, no errormessage. I have already tried to install GRUB to MBR again, but no go, the system just reboots if i try to start FreeBSD. Any ideas? ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did a reboot after installkernel so i know the 6.1-PRE kernel was able to boot, and GRUB did not complain too. So whatelse could have changed?

From floppy? yes, booting from grub-floppy root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader setup (hd0) no error up to here! but typing boot does not boot, it reboots the system without errormessage. Booting XP or Linux works with the grub-floppy by just typing the root and kernel line from menu.lst and boot [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 2 title FreeBSD -- The Power to Serve root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader title Gentoo Linux root (hd0,2) kernel /kernel root=/dev/hda3 title Windoof -- The eXPerience root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 What are your configuration files? menu.lst what else?

I will cvsup again and rebuild everything, without CPUTYPE=athlon-xp
in make.conf
I can remember some bootproblems on my laptop with CPUTYPE?=pentium3m
It is the case on my machine so i use chainloader to boot freebsd, like that:
title FreeBSD
root(hd0,3)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot
Linux i can boot directly:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-k7
root(hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-k7 root=/dev/hda6 ro acpi=force
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-k7
savedefault
boot
WindowsXP i also chainload.
I had similar problems, the following entry in my /etc/make.conf fixed
this for me:
# /boot/loader crashs with pentium-m
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/src/sys/boot/i386/loader*}
.undef CPUTYPE
CPUTYPE?= pentium3
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
.endif
Just replace pentium3 with something that works on your system.
