BIG TROUBLE!

When trying to mount an usb-stick Frenzy 1.0 panicked an rebooted. But now :
'
WARNING : / was not properly unmounted
WARNIG : R/W of / denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck
'

Then booted from the LiveCD and :
'
frenzy:~# fsck /dev/ad1s1a
** /dev/ad1s1a (NO WRITE)
** Last Mounted on /
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 4294967292 bytes for inoinfo
'

Please help. Am in big trouble ...

> ** /dev/ad1s1a (NO WRITE)
Try to execute command "all-umount" before starting fsck from LiveCD of start liveCD with "nohdmnt" or "nohdd" option.

To prevent such problem, edit /etc/fstab on installed Frenzy and
edit line with description of root FS.
Original line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw 0 0
Must be:
/dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw 1 1

Thank you very much for prompt reply.

However still got same errormessage :
'
frenzy:~# all-umount
frenzy:~# fsck_ufs /dev/ad1s1a
** /dev/ad1s1a
** Last Mounted on /
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 4294967292 bytes for inoinfo
'
Changed 0 0 --> 1 1 in /etc/fstab of installed system.

Thank you

Kindly refer to above query.

Is there anything else I can do except reinstall Frenzy 1.0 again and lose all my settings and freshly installed programs?

What to do in order to avoid such accidents in the future?

Thank you?

new to Frenzy.

I installed to HD, but can not boot.

The install script gave me an error loading cfdisk- unable to write changes.

I use GRUB and can not boot after install
root=(hd0,0,a) [or root=(hd0,0)]
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

I get a kernel panic.

How to run cfdisk with read-write permission?

Should I boot to a Linux distro and set up the partition then re-install Frenzy?

Please advise.

Reinstalled Frenzy 1.0. Everything OK so far! Nice!!

Another newbie question if you allow me.

How can I find out if there is a port or package of the latest Vim 7.0, mplayer1.0pre8 or Firefox 1.5.0.4.

Thank you.

You must obtain latest ports tree:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
untar into /usr and then build desired applications from there.

Vim7 (ports/editors/vim) and Firefox 1.5.0.4 (ports/www/firefox) already there, however MPlayer is still 0.99.7 (ports/multimedia/mplayer).

Thank you very much.

Was able to compile the vim 7.0 port. But unable to deinstall the old Vim 6.4. Any hint?

Compiled also the Lua port. But there are no readline possibilities. Anything I can do?

Appreciate your kind attention.

To deinstall old package, you must execute

cd /var/db/pkg
pkg_delete -f vim*

Force option "-f" needed because all packages in Frenzy are dependencies of metaports. So after HDD install to avoid such issue you may do this:

cd /var/db/pkg
pkg_delete pkg-frenzy*

This will not harm the system :)

About Lua I know nothing, so I can't help in this problem...

Once again : thank you very much for great help. Vim 7.0 working fine now!

Updated also opera to the latest ports version. (Version 9.00 Build 344 Platform FreeBSD System i386, 6.1-STABLE) However now I can start Opera but am not able to reach the internet. I followed the usual procedure : "make; make install; make clean"

Any help?
