I then copied one set of partitions to another, booted up to that second set, and immediately I was back to having the above warnings/errors, and before long I had a system panic. And when I try to 'call doadump()', that fails with an error writing to the disk, so I can't get a core dump of it either. Maybe it's an overheating issue, or maybe it's something else. But whatever it is, I am going to assume it's the fault of something in my PC. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Mon Dec 06 2004 - 23:52:05 UTC
