The symptoms are, with 1.108, the kernel output on the console stops at the point indicated by ---> below, whereas reverting to 1.107 makes the boot process proceed. unknown: can't assign resources (port) Timecounter "TSC" frequency 3056509784 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, ... ---> g_provider 0xc68c7080 disappeared while tasting Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0 Loading /etc from MFS:/fd ... This is with a freshly checked tree. I tried with older trees (which is how i found out the problem), and the problem appears between these two releases: lcvs update -Pd -D'20031118 10:18 PST' sys # works lcvs update -Pd -D'20031118 10:20 PST' sys # hangs The above output was obtained with the following versions: lcvs update -Pd -r HEAD sys # still hangs lcvs update -Pd -r 1.107 sys/dev/md/md.c # works Is this something easy to fix ? I am not familiar with the geom changes to tell... cheers luigi
