I recently upgraded my laptop from 4.3-RELEASE to 4.4-STABLE (9/20/01) and the new kernel seems to have problems finding my HDD. When booting the kernel gets all the way to mounting the root filesystem and then spits out the following: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a no such device 'ad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 I am able to boot my old custom 4.3-RELEASE kernel and the all the necessary device files do exist. It should also be noted that I have a desktop using a world/kernel built from the same source that boots just fine. I checked dmesg on the laptop for any other useful information but the only thing I noticed was that it doesn't mention anything about "ata" or "atapci". Here is the relevant stuff from my kernel config: device pci device ata options ATA_STATIC_ID I am going to attempt a build without the ATA_STATIC_ID option in a few here, but I won't know the results of that for at least a few hours. Both my laptop and desktop are using IBM drives (/dev/ad*) though the one in the laptop is quite a bit older. Laptop: ad0: 2067MB <IBM-DTNA-22160> [4200/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO Desktop: ad4: 43979MB <IBM-DTLA-307045> [89355/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad6: 58644MB <IC35L060AVER07-0> [119150/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 I have also been seeing some strange behavior when booting the 4.3-RELEASE kernel on my laptop. About 40-50% of the time it will hang when trying to mount / and it seems to be accessing both the HDD and my PCMCIA card pretty heavily. Generally the next reboot works fine. Might this be due to my world being out of sync with the kernel? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Brian Weiss <brian@got.net> http://we.got.net/~brian/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
