libncurses.so.8: invalid file format

Hi,

While starting my FreeBSD 8.1 amd 64 system, it stopped on this screen which I attached. How can I correct this problem?

It looks like /lib/libncurses.so.8 got corrupted somehow. Did anything change recently? An unexpected power down maybe?

Is the source tree available on that machine? You might be able to rebuild that library using the source.
 
This system is a remote server and I am connecting with DELL ILO. After installing some driver for a private card, the system stopped and I rebooted from an ILO interface.

I manage some process such as, in this screen
[cmd=]/rescue/sh[/cmd]
[cmd=]mount -f /dev/mfid0s1a[/cmd]
[cmd=]fsck_ffs -y /dev/mfid0s1a[/cmd]
etc..

But when I enter [cmd=]ls -l[/cmd] I got the same error
Code: 
libncurses.so.8: invalid file format
 
Do you have a similar machine you could copy the library from?
It doesn't have to be exactly the same, just the same version of FreeBSD and the same architecture (amd64 or i386).

With this error I'm not so sure it's fixable on the machine itself.
 
I agree with you , but I couldn't transfer this file, because scp or ssh don't work. In addition the PC doesn't get an IP address. I look from "ipconfig -a".

Maybe I should reinstall freebsd FreeBSD.
