On Fri, Dec 07, 2007 at 12:56:06AM -1000 I heard the voice of Parv, and lo! it spake thus: So, just what have you been stuffing in /? kernel.debug for one thing. But that's not what really kills it; it's when there are TWO kernel.debug's in the time between starting the upgrade and being sure the new one works solid. Or now, two sets of .symbols files, which is way too much for it (one set is ~75 megs). -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That must have been after 6.2 came out as I never had that occur with it. Anyway, since I am installing from CD I discovered that during the install, VT4 has a working shell that lets you cd to / boot/GENERIC and delete the symbol files before the disk overflows. I will have to add the line above to make.conf though as I do minor updates from the source. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, 7.0 beta3 has login compiled with libutil.so.5 and libc.so.6 neither of which are on the distribution cd. I had to point those to the existing libs to get login to work. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
