Hi,
   thanks to those who answered my questions before. I cvsuped today and make world soon after I boot to single user. While making the world, I noticed that there were signal 4 core dumps while building libraries
I think the statements are something like this...
Illegal instruction.... (nm) .... signal 4 core cumped)
Can't check the /var/tmp/mwout file since I can't boot into FreeBSD... But the make world process managed to finish successfully.
   Then, I make a new sysinstall but the process stopped. Again signal 4 core dumped but this time the statement is something like this...
Illegal instruction ... cpp(1) ... signal 4 core dumped...
   After that I install a new kernel and reboot...
Below is the message that I got
 
Verifying DMI Pool Data
_
BTX Loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console:internal video/keyboard
panic:zfree(0x1cb04,4096):wild pointer
 
I use osbs beta to boot between Win98 and FreeBSD.
My computer is
    AMD K62 300MHz,
    VA 503+ motherboard
    Maxtor hd (4G) -- for FreeBSD (secondary master)
    Quantum Fireball CR (4G) -- for Win98
The original FreeBSD is installed from ftp (FreeBSD-STABLE) from the primary site.
It is the second installation from ftp site since the first installation also can't boot after I make a new kernel... (kernel trap after the npx statement)
The signal 4 core dumped happened frequently since I make world to FreeBSD 3.3 Stable from FreeBSD 3.2 Stable. During 3.2 Stable, the FreeBSD works great without any problems.
I have already low level formated my hd before my second ftp installation using maxtor's hd utility program to check whether I have a faulty hd. The hd passed all tests.
Attached is a copy of my kernel configuration file which I saved in my Win98 partition. (I've edited it to make it smaller...;)
Any hints on what I should do to boot into FreeBSD? (I don't use Win98, my family use it...;)
I do installed gcc 2.9.1, does this has anything to do with my problem??
thanks in advance...

Opal
