I tried installing FreeBSD about 4 times and each time it comes up with this after the installation: I've followed the Installation Howto to the letter and it appears that more people are experiencing this problem. http://www.google.com/search?&q=unable+to+load+%27kernel%27+FreeBSD+6.1 Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf Unable to load a kernel ! / can't load 'kernel' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK 'Known workarounds' (Installing base and kernel seperately) didn't work for me cause (probably) I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD yet as this is my first time using *BSD. I hope you can fix this problem cause I would love to experiment with FreeBSD. Fix: Apparantly installing 'base' and 'kernel' packages manually, though this didn't work for me, but this might be due to my (lack of) experience with FreeBSD. How-To-Repeat: Install 6.1-RELEASE on a pc (i386, might also affect other architectures although I can't verify this) and follow the installation manual on the FreeBSD website.
Hi Marno, in order to work on the bug you submitted, can you please stay in touch with me via email. I installed a fresh 6.1 following the FreeBSD Handbook, and everything is OK for me. I usually install FreeBSD using the "expert mode", but this time I did that with the express way, recommended in the handbook. Please mail me so that we can work on it. All the best, -- Nicolas CARTRON

State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Feedback timeout (3 weeks).
State Changed From-To: closed->suspended Actually, I had a response from the submitter, but only in personal email, so I wasn't able to see it in GNATS. This is apparently still a problem, but he is not using FreeBSD any more, so mark it as suspended for now.
