Rebooting to the new kernel, however, resulted in an error Failed To Mount Root: ufs:/dev/ad0s1a (or along that lines). Multiple tries still resulted in the same error. I had to manually re-boot the host using a previous kernel. Building the kernel using GENERIC resulted in the same errors. And for a couple of days now I have cvsup'd the latest sources again, even to the point removing /usr/src/* and /usr/obj/* and at each try, the new kernel fails to reboot with the same failure. For one, this is an isolated case, 'coz another host I maintain have no such problem compiling STABLE-4.2-BETA for days now (as a baseline for my production machines). I am at lost here. Appreciate any advices or thoughts on how to resolve the matter. Thanks in advance. PS: The host was originally a STABLE-3.5, upgraded to STABLE-4.0, and undergone multiple kernel builds before. Last successful kernel build is STABLE-4.1.1 Friday Oct 20. -- Feisal Umar Webcraft Sdn Bhd - http://www.webcraft99.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
