Hi,
I've an old HP Vectra, with 64MB RAM. When I try to upgrade
from 4.7 to 4.8 the bsd.rd hangs -- the boot
sequence gets as far as "softraid0 at root"
and then stops. There is no response to
ctrl-alt-del and the system must be power
cycled.
Appended is the output from a serial console
booting 4.8 bsd.rd and the dmesg from a regular
4.7 boot. (The output below is from my rebuild
of bsd.rd from the latest in cvs, booting off
the hard drive. I get the same behavior when
booting from a purchased 4.8 cd.)
Where should I go from here?
Thanks.
The 4.8 bsd.rd serial port boot output:
