make world left me with an unbootable system
Last night around midnight EST I cvsupped and did make buildworld, config -r'ed my kernel, compiled it, installed the kernel and did make installworld. I rebooted expecting the system to come up fine but it failed with "Invalid partition table". This was just after removing 2 of 3 of my dimm's becauseI thought they were causing a seperate problem. The system is not overclocked, but SMP. Attempting to boot kernel.old left me with the exact same problem. Here is what my screen says: Verifying DMI Pool Data ...

I was updating from a -current less than a week old and there is nothing more recent than 2 weeks olf in UPDATING, but thanks for reminding me to check. On Thu, 20 Apr 2000, Thomas T.

ANY suggestions or insight to the problem is appreciated! Yesterday I built a new loader (/boot/loader) after there were some changes made to the src tree for the loader. When I rebooted the machine hung with some error messages. I used the fixit disk and mounted the root partition and copied /boot/loader.old to /boot/loader Then everything worked.

Re: make world left me with an unbootable system
Using loader.old worked! Thanks to all who suggested it, I was fearing actual damage. Now time to figure out if its really fixed yet, or why not :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
