Installing 8.0 Beta 4 on an i386 machine from disc 1. IN the Extracting ports: Panic: initiate_write_inodeblock_ufs2: already started cpuid=0 KDB: enter: panic [thread pid 19 tid 100045 ] Stopped at kdb_enter+0x3a: movl $0,kdb_why I did a where but its way too much to type accurately by hand. This is an older system, but it does boot disc 1 where some of the previous releases it would not boot disk 1 but had to use the live file system. I'll try it again without adding the ports.

Installing on a IDE disk worked around the problem. It happened with the i386 as well as the amd64 version. Thomas

Reinstalled, but now I am getting a bunch of disk errors (SCSI) so I suspect the problem is hardware.
