Booted from the 9.0-RELEASE CD, dropped to a shell and ran gpart destroy -F ada0 Burned the RELENG_9 shapshot image from 20121006, booted from that disc, and created a fresh system using GPT and the same setup as described in the OP. Upon reboot, I continue to get the same 'gptboot: Invalid GPT...

Wow, thanks - that should be quicker than syncing source with cvs and building everything :) And I was just about to ask how that would affect the system partitioning without rebuilding it from scratch.

Thanks - I'm going to follow the instructions in the handbook on following stable and follow-up once I know more.

Confirmed - using the latest BIOS revision A13. No geometry is shown for the drive in the BIOS aside from 'Primary Hard Drive: 137.4 GB'. Regarding reinstall - this is my second installation of FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to this system. During my first installation I had this issue, which lead...

I believe it has A13, which is the latest listed on the Latitude c840 support site. I'll double-check once I get home, but I'm 99% certain this is what I'm using already.

The partitions were created through bsdinstall, as indicated in the handbook section 3.7.2. I based the sizes off of Example 3-3. Nothing was done through the shell. Out of curiosity I'll try reinstalling without using any labels, then by using guided partitioning and seeing what happens...

I'm not using gmirror, and I haven't used glabel that I'm aware of. However, when I set up the partitions manually during installation with bsdinstall I did opt to give all of the partitions labels - rootfs, swap, varfs, tmpfs, usrfs. Would this have called glabel? I'm willing to blow...

Hello, I've just installed FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE using GPT on /dev/ada0on my Dell Latitude c840. After setting up GPT manually using the handbook as a guideline and rebooting, I get the following message prior to the BTX loader: gptboot: invalid backup gpt header The system boots properly, and...

You may want to try addingif_rl_load="YES"to /boot/loader.conf and restarting to see if it gets detected. Otherwise, posting your dmesg would help figure out what's going on.

I can attest to this. I've taken apart a C840 and a D600 and by far the worst part is the cover surrounding the power button. Actually the worst part is getting to the BT module on the D600 and how poorly made the connectors are, but I digress. If the D830 is taken apart the same way, I...

Gateway NV53 series? Hello, I've looked at the Laptop compatibility list, but there's rarely anything that's a) recent and b) not too expensive, so I figured I'd ask here. There's a deal at Bestbuy for a Gateway NV5332u with mostly ATI/AMD hardware, and as usual, finding chipset details...
