I upgraded my FreeBSD machine from a 486/66 EISA to a P90 PCI yesterday by basically pulling out the hard drive from one and placing it in another and booting & UserConfiguring kernel.GENERIC shipped w/ 2.0.5R. So far so good - system boots, everything works fine. I did a sup and "make world" to get a -stable release, everything makes, I configure a config file (below), make the new kernel, and the pci code in the kernel no longer detects the ncr scsi device: ---snip--- probing for devices on the pci0 bus: configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices changing root device to sd0a panic: cannot mount root ---snip--- The confusing part is that it works fine w/ 2.0.5R but not with 2.1.0-STABLE. Is it me, my machine, or the code, I wonder?? I hope it's me! System hardware: AST Premmia GX P/90, 32 mb RAM, PCI ATI Mach64 Vid, Soundblaster 16 ISA. Onboard ncr/ethernet. Disk is 2 GB Micropolis. Appropriate sections of my config file: (FWIW, this was extracted from someone who has the same pci/ncr controller as I): ... config kernel root on wd0 controller isa0 controller pci0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 controller ncr0 controller scbus0 ... If you'd like to see my entire "CONFIG" file, please finger bsd@jaguar.cris.com (I don't want to fill up everyone's mail box excessively :)) Thank you very much! - Richard Beerman
