FreeBSD farm 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Sun Jul 1 20:56:49 HKT 2007 root@farm:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
>Description:
I was using a 6.2-STABLE kernel dated before 9-JUN-2007. It was fine. After upgraded the machine today, I could no long boot the machine. It constantly asked me to manually input the device of root file system, which it has detected correctly (i.e. ufs:/dev/ad0s1a).
The problem magically disappeared when I "boot -v" in boot prompt. Could it be a timer issue?
I attached the dmesg of normal boot, and dmesg of "boot -v".
