hello folks, about a year ago I installed 5-CURRENT on my Athlon64 based box (Asus K8V). Because at that time amd64 mode didn't work very well with a lot of ports I installed FreeBSD in i386 mode. Meanwhile I followed the release path to 5.3. Everything works very fine (with i386 mode). Now I want to use the full power of my 64 bit CPU. I cross compiled the kernel to amd64 mode: # cd /usr/src # make kernel TARGET=amd64 TARGET_ARCH=amd64 KERNCONF=REINEKE64 and tried to reboot the machine with the new kernel. The kernel himself seems to work but when he tries to mount the root filesystem the system hangs. I think something in my migration is wrong. Can someone please tell me the correct procedure to get my system work in amd64 mode without complete re-installation. Thanks a lot Burkard
