Hello, I tried to upgrade one of my server's to FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE from FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE. I did this using make build/install world, etc. Then I compiled my kernel as well I compared my existing kernel to the GENERIC one to see if there were any new options from 4.2 to 4.5 and then merged them into one combined one. Now I get this message Root Mount Failed: 16 ufs:/dev/ad4s1a then it asks me to manual specify the root device so I give it a try with all the known device names from the previous system but to know avail. I looked at the boot messages just before it to see if maybe the Kernel is initializing the drives on diffrent dev names but it is /dev/ad4s1a. I was able to get the server running again but I am using my old kernel on a system running 4.5-STABLE binaries. As you could imagine i am having troubles with things like ipfw now giving me segmentation faults. I have also tried using the CONF file from the working kernel to make a 4.5 KERNEL but it still has the Root Mount Failed: 16 Message. I have looked through google and the Mailing lists to see if someone else has encountered this problem and can't find any exact matches.
