Re: Crash During FreeBSD compilation has left system unbootable

It was actually during the 'make install' stage,
make had finished by this
point.
I had just added 'device atapicam' to my config file
also (i doubt that's
relevant tho?).

Upon reboot, none of my back-up kernels now boot.
When I boot the half
compiled
kernel I get:

-------------------------
When loading required module 'pci'
int = 000 .... err = 0.... efl = 000....
[etc...]

BTX Halted.
-------------------------

When trying to boot my back up kernels, I get this
error straight away:

--------------------------

I'd greatly appreciate if anyone can tell me if I
can recover from this
problem or if it's completely lost.

Thanks in advance,

None of your kernels?
Found this in the handbook -
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-trouble.html

You might also want to see if you have a rescue disk
handy, the worst case you can do a reinstall of just
the kernel items and their sources.

Hope that helps.
