Hi, I have been using this laptop for a few months now with FreeBSD without any problems with the hard disk however today as I installed editors/vim the system crashed (without a core dump or any message).
When ever the system boots (and proceeds to do a fsck on ad0e (/usr)) it also crashes without any message. I have tried the following commands: # dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=1M ( System crashes) # smartctl -C -t short ( Succeeds ) # smartctl -C -t long ( Failes with a message: ad0: FAILED - SMART timed out) If I force the mounting of /usr without fsck then the system does boot (but I am not sure how stable it is). I have updated the kernel to cvs RELENG_7 from a few hours ago (and it compiled without a problem after force mounting (and using tmpfs as obj directory, did not try any other way) I have no idea what is wrong (if the disk has corrupted should the kernel not display error messages?). Can you please help/advise? Thank you in advance.
