Hi list,
i have just updated to 6.2-PRERELEASE and GRUB is unable to use
the new /boot/loader. Ending in an endless loop rebooting after
selecting FreeBSD.
As a workaround it was possible to chainload FreeBSD.
Further investigation shows that /boot/loader.old is woking.
So what can cause the new loader to fail?
I have not set CFLAGS / CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf
No other problems , em device is working fine here:)
regards,
--> auge

Unfortunately my laptop ran into this constantly rebooting problem caused by the new /boot/loader. And again, /boot/loader.old works fine on my laptop. Moreover, while booting i get the following message: sysctl: unknown oid 'net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal' due to missing inet6 support in my kernel. regards, --> auge -- 5:00PM up 72 days, 17:04, 0 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 =======================================================================No yak too dirty; no dumpster too hollow.

Not sure what the underlying problem is, but anything but the defaults seems to trip loader up. HTH, Stefan -- Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> Fon +49 170 346 0140
