The new kernel fails to find any of my IDE devices (it doesn't even load ata anything anymore). It then drops me to the mountroot> prompt.

You'll be able to copy the kernel.GENERIC over kernel from a root prompt. jmc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
