As for this part: Are you *really* sure that the files were what you believed them to be? The first appears to me to be a kernel config file instead of the device.hints. I have no idea about the second, it could be any file with a $FreeBSD$ tag in it, which was not commented properly or something. BTW: I looked over the suggested order of steps in UPDATING just now, you did things pretty much according to that (with the exception of the "-j" for the buildworld but that one cannot be that dramatic, I assume you did not use the "-j" for the installworld. So, I still have no real explanation for your hanging of the machine. Perhaps someone else. The first failure is memory corruption in any event but the reason is not known to me. I have not seen it reported here yet. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
