I sent a note about this a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard anything. I'm really getting a bit desperate. I have a system that I am trying to upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0. I have built it and installed the kernel, but it fails to boot. The boot freezes after probing for my hard drives during the probe of the CDROM. It just sits there, seemingly forever, though I have never waited longer then a few minutes. The system is a SuperMicro C25BX mother board. The DVD is PATA, reported on boot of 8-Stable as: acd0: DVDR <ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P/9P59> at ata2-master UDMA66 If I unplug the CDROM, it boots fine, but I really need the device on the system, so I really can't leave it unplugged. Also, after the 9 kernel is installed, my Mk file have been updated so that I can't build some ports if I boot the 8.2 kernel. Does anyone remember this being reported by others? It was most likely on current, as it was probably prior to the release of 9. I googled around, but could not find it. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can point me toward a solution. Thanks, -- R.
