RE: anyone seen this? Makes system unbooable.
I just did a make buildworld; make installworld; mergemaster I am not at home at teh moment and the laptop is the only machine there so the serial; cable wouldn't help much.. I will re-install it and try it again with your suggested hack As for what's there I'm not kidding when I say too fast for my neurons. It flashes past so quickly I;m not completely sure at all what I'm seeing. CDROM bootblocks worked fine :-) On Mon, 31 Dec 2001, John Baldwin wrote: On 31-Dec-01 Julian Elischer wrote: I upgraded by cvs on saturday night, Sunday I didn't use it.

Introducing some sort of delay in exit() on i386 might not be that bad of an idea.

Re: anyone seen this? Makes system unbooable.
I upgraded by cvs on saturday night, Sunday I didn't use it. Monday I tried to boot it. but the loader says: ASSERT mumble and the system reboots I'd LOVE to know wha the assert is but really My opical neurons take at least 20mSecs to fire and by the time I've found the Asssert line I'm already running on afterimage. How about adding a sleep after the Assert write so that it can actually be read? Is it printing ASSERT blah, or Assertion failed:? The string ASSERT doesn't exist anywhere in the loader or libstand. If you want to add a pause after an assertion failure (not a bad idea really), do it in src/lib/libstand/assert.c. In the meanwhile does anyone know what the problem might be.. I'm recvsuping (I had to boot off a cdrom) and will recompile the bootblocks, but some idea of the problem might be nice.. You *are* aware that you can boot loader.old by hitting a key while the spinner is paused, before the loader starts, right?

RE: anyone seen this? Makes system unbooable.
Julian, I upgraded by cvs on saturday night, Sunday I didn't use it. Monday I tried to boot it. but the loader says: ASSERT mumble and the system reboots had _exactly_ the same poblem :( the string says, something like name not found ASSERT(FALSE) ficlCompileSoftCore in softcore.c line 291 i had to turn off CPU cache to catch the message and hit pause so i could read it :) I'd LOVE to know wha the assert is but really My opical neurons take at least 20mSecs to fire and by the time I've found the Asssert line I'm already running on afterimage. in my case it was an awk problem. at some point perl script was replaced by awk script. i did not upgrade my awk, so i got bad softcore.c file. as far as i can tell several forth modiules get pre-processed by softcore.awk to produce softcore.c. if you have old awk then this will produce bad softcore.c (mosty because of escaping and removing comments from forth code). the result is broken forth code inside softcore.c i had to use holy trinity (kern.flp, mfsfoot.flp and fixit.flp :), mount harddisk and re-build/re-install loader. In the meanwhile does anyone know what the problem might be.. I'm recvsuping (I had to boot off a cdrom) and will recompile the bootblocks, but some idea of the problem might be nice.. well, you've got my 2 cents, i had several _very_ unplesant hours before i recovered my laptop from the upgrade :) but now everything is fine :) thanks, max To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
