ataraid/fsck glitch on upgrade from 5.5 to 6-stable?

Hi all, I ran into an unexpected problem today, when I tried to do an in-place upgrade from FreeBSD 5.5 (actually RELENG_5) to 6-STABLE, following the procedure in /usr/src/UPDATING. The buildworld and buildkernel went without a hitch, and installkernel was fine, too. When I rebooted to single-u

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 hangs at mountroot> during bootup

Some kvm's can be problematic, you may want to just plug a keyboard into the server for now. You can boot the CD and at a shell prompt run fdisk. You can give it the argument for the other drive to see that drive's partition table. -Derek At 03:30 AM 9/21/2006, Mike Peirson wrote:

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 hangs at mountroot> during bootup

Re: can't find my hard drive

I would verify your installation using the utilities from the manufacturer of the second hard disk. You should be able to download a bootable iso with the utility and boot that to verify your drive is properly installed. -Derek At 02:17 AM 9/21/2006, Brett McLain wrote: Hmm they're

can't find my hard drive

Hmm they're both SATA drives set as masters. I tried some more today and i'm still unable to do it. There seems no way to make it recognize it. It would SEEM that it doesn't recognize the drive when the cd begins its setup. I'm not 100% sure on thatalthough i know for sure its in the B
