Subject:   Cannot boot with newly compiled kernel, or kernel.old after upgrading to RELENG_6

Hi,

I have been so unfortunate to be left with a completely unusable system
after updating to RELENG_6 from RELENG_5.

I am quite sure that I followed the step from the handbook correctly, but
as mentioned the system is unbootable.

The error when trying to boot the new kernel makes the system reboots
after 15 seconds, so I haven't had the opportunity to write that one down.
However, the error message from when trying: "unload", "boot
/boot/kernel.old/kernel" I was able to copy down in full (see bottom).

If I try to unload linux.ko by ' set linux_load="NO" ', it goes a bit
further. I can only see "acpi.ko: could not finalize loading" flash by,
and several "PNP0303 can't assign..." error messages before it mounts, it
finishes to load ipfw2 and then suddenly it says

'Warning: Device driver " ' then nothing more on the line, then a similar
error message to the one at bottom follows. (page fault). Reboots after 15
seconds.


I really hope someone knows what this is all about - I have no idea why
this is happening. Further I cannot understand why kernel.old doesn't work
- after all I've used that kernel for 6 months without any issues. Mind
that this is the GENERIC kernel, and it was compiled with unmodified conf.

Hope for quick reply,

Best regards,

Torgeir Hoffmann
