During Boot - error after mounting root
guys, I can't figure out how to get the mailing list search engine to take this so I'm asking it here. We had power outage and machine went down, now during boot and after mounting the root partition the character string '^[[0' appears alot. The machine still runs and seems ok, but since I can't seem to get a search engine to take the string anyone got an idea what this is and if it's fixable without a complete reformat? Also, would someone please check the MX record and reverse dns for ns1.gaiserco.com 207.191.77.178 The FreeBSD lists are refusing to accept mail from here claming that my hostname can't be found.

Also, would someone please check the MX record and reverse dns for ns1.gaiserco.com 207.191.77.178 From Mexico City. The reverse register does not work: Isabeau:/home/mrspock host ns1.gaiserco.com s1.gaiserco.com has address 207.191.77.178 Isabeau:/home/mrspock host 207.191.77.178 Host not found.

Appears where, as an error message, in files? Also, would someone please check the MX record and reverse dns for ns1.gaiserco.com 207.191.77.178 The FreeBSD lists are refusing to accept mail from here claming that my hostname can't be found. nslookup Default Server: helium.bc.tac.net Address: 209.53.4.130 ns1.gaiserco.com Non-authoritative answer: Name:ns1.gaiserco.com Address: 207.191.77.178 207.191.77.178 *** helium.bc.tac.net can't find 207.191.77.178: Non-existent host/domain Looks like there is no reverse DNS set up for the IP.

RE: During Boot - error after mounting root
The machine is running just fine (best I can tell). It's a Samba server with internal email, no one's complained about it not working from the client side. It did take three or four attempts to get it to boot successfully after the power outage. But now it boots without any fuss except for the strings of [O^[[O^[[O^[[O^[[O^[[ after mounting the partitions. the error is on the console, there not in /var/log/messages or dmesg. thanks for checking the DNS, it looks fine from here. I'll have another look at the files.

Does the string appear continually or is it only one short string and then
ok? Does it happen if you switch to a different virtual screen?
I bet you have a broken keyboard (zapped during the power outage).
