hi,
i'm experiencing some weird problem...
when 4.2 was in beta i setup a athlon 500(asus board), and copied the
freebsd installation from my primary machine ( dual celeron ) to the athlons
disk. i had to build a single CPU kernel on the athlon cause the smp kernel
did abort during boot. so i went into single user(with kernel.GENERIC),
built a new kernel, and booted it. 2-3 seconds after printing the login
prompt, the box crashed *every*( i tried ~10 times) time i booted
normally(no unusual message during boot,no panic, but it stoped responding
to the keyboard/network). but it worked perfectly fine in single user mode..
i spent ~2 hours in single user mode with manually started services and
network. i think i even ran a make world.. anyway.. i couldnt find the
problem so i went and installed 4.1.1-release from cd. everything worked
fine after that, even after updating to 4.2
today, i bought a athlon 1Ghz+abit board(different chipset then the asus),
replaced the dual celeron with it, and have exactly the same problem. is a
world built on a smp incompatible with single cpu systems !?(i doubt that)
maybe its that i choose i686 as cpu type, but why does "single user" work
fine then?
is there something i'm missing ? i'd be glad to hear any ideas..
