Ever since I upgraded this workstation to 7.0 STABLE, I have been
unable
to reboot with my USB hard drive attached. During the boot sequence,
the device is properly detected and identified, but then I get an error
message, a crash dump and a reboot. I enabled /var/log/console.log in
the hope that I would catch the error message, but it doesn't appear in
the log. I also don't have any kernel dumps, so I can't trace those to
see what the problem might be.
An additional problem that I have is that, during boot, the system says
there is no dump device available. This is despite the fact that swap
is twice the real memory size and /etc/defaults/rc.conf defines dumpdev
as auto. I even tried defining dumpdev as the swap partition (in
/etc/rc.conf), but nothing changed.
I have to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss to know what it
is. I've rebuilt world and kernel nine times now, in the desparate
hope
that something might have changed in the usb code that would solve this
problem. (Every time "#find /usr/src -newer /boot/kernel" returns
changes in the usb code, I rebuild kernel and world.)
Is there something I can enable that will capture the boot sequence
during a failed boot while devices are still being detected?
# grep -i umass /var/log/console.log
Any helpful hints would be gratefully appreciated.
