>Description:
FreeBSD 6.3 works but BETA4 of 7.0 and RC1 of 7.0 both crash at the end
of the kernel or beginning of the installation procedure. I can't detect
it well and the part of the text where the crash occurs is overwritten
with the "go nowhere without my init" crash message. The last thing i
see is something concerning the harddisk geometry and then the probing
devices message box and then the crash. even if it is already the
installation program i think the category kern is right because it is
the kernel that crashes. Please forgive me that i can't give any further
information but this is my first try with freebsd, i have WIN98SE on my
HD and tried FreeBSD 6.3 on my free space and want to swap when i have
more time. I tried my first steps (i have some experience with slackware
3.5 wich i used 4 years for internet and writing) and tried dosbox, wine,
vice and uae because i am a retrogames lover and have many old dos,
windows, c64 and amiga games wich should run. Otherwise everything 

i need and use alreay on win98 like Firefox, Thunderbird & lightning,
etc run native on FreeBSD. Because i am a beginner with FreeBSD i am a
bit stuck because the crash is in the Kernel and so i can't send you
any form of log. If there is an option to create one please let me know
and i create one. By the way i used the file 7.0-RC1-i386-bootonly.iso
to boot the cd but i had the same trouble with the disc1 of beta 4. I
also tried hard and soft reset on my PC.

Andreas Wirooks

 I was able to identify the following text (this was hard because the 
 fast automatic reboot):
 :/ write failed Filesystem is full
 CPU ID:0
 Uptime 3s
 
 By the way, i tried safe mode, no acpi and logging kernels.

 Andreas,
 
 this is one of the sort being hard to give any hints, as at least some
 information is needed. Can you try and check your RAM using memtest
 and see if RAM is bad?
 
 If that has been checked, I suggest you to grab a live-cd (try 7.0
 livefs CD also FreeSBIE - still on 6.x - might do it for you) and
 check whether it will boot fine. Try running sysinstall from the
 live-cd. If it will abort, please provide the exact error message.
 
 Also please try to grab a verbose boot dmesg and post it. This may
 require you to have a live cd and a USB stick (boot from live cd,
 mount USB memory stick and put output of `dmesg -a', `pciconf -lv',
 `devinfo -rv' onto the memory stick).
 
 Also show us output of `fdisk'.
 
 Please post all infos but first make sure, your RAM is fine.
 
 Did you experience same trouble with 6.3?
 
 If nothing helps, you can try to take as much hardware out of the box
 as possible and see if the fault does not occour anymore. I really
 suspect it being a hardware fault.
 
 You may probably want to check the FAQ:

 Hallo Volker,
 thank you very much for your answer. I ran memtest86+ the whole night 
 and the RAM seems OK. There were no errors.
 
 As i have written, FreeBSD 6.3 RC1 works fine. I did a complete install.
 
 I will try to give you the logs you request from the FreeBSD 6.3 rele 
 and i will also try the 7.0 LIVE CD and (if i find the option) try to 
 boot the normal 7.0 in a way to prevent sysinstall from starting.
 
 Regards,
 Andreas

 Hi there,
 sorry for the long wait but now i have the time to check again. I have 
 one problem. I can't find the ISO of the Bootonly FreeBSD 7.0 RC1. The 
 hardware and the Bios options are the same except for the graphics card. 
   I replaced my Voodoo 3 AGP with a GForce4 MX by Asus. Same Interrupt. 
 I tried 3 Bootonly ISO's. 6.4RC1 boots without any problem. 7.0 and 7.1 
 Beta2 boot too and there is no crash like with the 7.0 RC1. But there is 
 an error message at the same place where the 7.0 RC1 crash-panic'd. But 
 i can't read the message because the keyboard selection screen appears. 
 I downloaded a 7.1 Beta2 livefs ISO. Where can i find the "DMESG" there?
 Regards,
 Andreas
