After that I got constant UID:0 signal 11 errors when booting. The filesystem got messed up and i decided to restore from my backup. The system is a cyrix 5x86 with 16Mb RAM AHA 1542 SCSI host adapter 1 Gig fujitsu HD SCSI CD Rom 2 gig tanberg SCSI tape Didi 8 port NE2000 clone I booted into single user, fscked thesystem, mounted the filesystems and restored my backup. The system still constantly came up with uid:0's signal 11's when going multiuser. So I tried to re-install the system. Using the same drive parameters and file system sized 9default0 the system would error when trying to put down the /bin etc directories. I would get a wrote -1 byte of 10240, and my f4 screen would show more uid:0 signal 11 errors and a core dump from gzip and cpio. I tried it without the Digi and NE2000 - same thing So I reformatted the disk and tried again, same thing. I changed motherboard and RAM and got the same thing. I was able to install Linux OK and tried FreeBSD again. It would install only if I changed the file system sizes from the default. Once installed I tried to relink the kernel to get my digi ports back and got errors compiling the kernel. I guess my next move is to replace the SCSI controller and/or disk??? Can anyone shed any light onto what the problem might be? Also what do the UID:0 signal 11 errors mean? I have done a search through the freebsd.org archives but not found anything helpful. Thanks Steve
