Hi,

After a successful installation, first boot of FreeBSD7 fails upon shell
loading:

ld-elf.so.1: assert failed: /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/amd64/reloc.c:341
pid 78 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 6

I get a prompt asking to provide a shell path. the same error occurs for all
existing shells (sh, csh, tcsh).

Here's the command pointed by the crash:
/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/amd64/reloc.c:341:
assert(ELF_R_TYPE(rela->r_info) == R_X86_64_JMP_SLOT);

Machine info:

Serie        =PowerEdge SC1435
CpuNum       =4
CpuVendor    =AuthenticAMD
CpuModel     =Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2216
CpuMhz       =2400.330
MemSizeKb    =8247676
MachType     =x86_64
KernelRev    =2.6.18-8.el5
ChipSet      =Broadcom HT1000 Legacy South Bridge

Is this arch supported by FreeBSD 7.0 ?
