dfdf ?
[dfdf]
Yep..
[dfdf] is now known as dfdf
wbooze
no i meant i didn't get your question
dfdf
So my FreeBSD server does not want 2 mount it's primary disk..
wbooze
ah
dfdf
So it can't be started..
dfdf
After rebuild..
wbooze
do you have devfs or udev ? <==
dfdf
think it was ufs:
wbooze
and are you sure pciids and usbids match the old one ? <==

wbooze
wel i'm not that advanced either to tell something specific of a solution....it's just i have here and there hints in my mind what these things could be related to and then i start there to try out..stuff....
dfdf
carry on pls..
wbooze
mbr mismatch, paritition-table mismatch, pivot-rooting, daemon-fault, sucking-utils, sucking-hw <==
dfdf
hw is fine.. problem is in the dev ad2s1a or something like it.. It's not in the '?' list on the mountroot> prompt..
wbooze
ya, so you need a initrd or initramfs ? <==
wbooze
my kernel needs none
wbooze
but some kernels do....
dfdf
what can i do on the mountroot> prompt..?
wbooze
can't do much when the /dev entry does not exist
wbooze
other then if you have the tools to create one.... <==
wbooze
maybe .....
dfdf
so you are telling me i'm screwed..
dfdf
booting from CD doesn't do the trick either..
wbooze
and sometimes even that won't help, cause it won't match it's pci id or usb id etc...the ones from the previously running-kernel or so.... <==
wbooze
normally creating a initrd or initramfs involves scripts which do update such stuff for you <==
wbooze
what does the cd contain ?
wbooze
a bootable or live linux system ? <==

dfdf
FreeBSD 6.0 && the other one is FreeBSD 8.1
wbooze
dunno, if i'd be you i'd try booting into it, and read the manuals before setup things for real boot.....
wbooze
maybe something gone wrong, or some steps you missed....
wbooze
and by the way i didn't try freebsd nor openbsd yet
dfdf
I just took the server apart & rebuilt it, nothing else..
wbooze
i recall i used once a unix system from a cd, it was a book cd from sybex....
wbooze
and another unix i used was cygwin under windoze
wbooze
that's all
23:23 dfdf
wbooze: thanx for the effort anyways.. much obliged..
