Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been trying to follow, via cvsup, the freebsd-stable branch. I just rebuilt the kernel on my machine and I've run into a problem that I'm not sure what to do about. I'm using the same config file that I used with the 2.2.5-release source and that kernel works just fine. When I build the kernel and boot I get the following: the kernel is labeled: 2.2.6-beta #0 Once all of the devices have been found and checked this new kernel attempts to change the device that root is on: changing root device to: wd0s2a it then mounts swap and then begins the fsck. at this point it give the following error /dev/wd0a on /: specified device does not match mounted device. Now, I understand that it is trying to mount a different device then what I have specified in the config file: config kernel root on wd0 What I am not at all sure about is why this is. Have the config options changed with the the stable branch? Am I missing something from the config file for the kernel? My disks look like this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 180495 43910 122146 26% / /dev/wd1s1e 1205727 944425 164844 85% /usr /dev/wd0s1e 149279 4360 132977 3% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc the actual slices on my first disk are wd0s1a / wd0s1b swap wd0s1e /var ?
