Hello,
I recently installed FreeBSD 8.1. I got everything working perfectly. Networking, Xorg (sound and flash), samba, my WIFI, etc. I was happy and felt like I accomplished my server migration task. Then all of a sudden the box crashed. I did a hard reset because I was unable to remotely access the box via ssh.
I rebooted and saw the following type errors:
I do not remember the exact trailing errors but it did say "uncorrectable".
My question is, could this be related to my initial install? In "sysinstall" it asked about "geometry". It said for older BIOS/PCs select no, which I did.
Has anyone seen problems like this before?
I booted into single user mode. I tried to run some commands and got some I/O errors.
I'm planning on getting a new hard drive and starting over. Before I install again, I am going to try one thing. I will boot into safe mode and set:
If that works, I will back up some data and copy some configuration parameters and install a new hard drive.
Anyone seen this before?
Thanks.
