Subject:   booting problem on custom 4STABLE kernel

Hi there,

    I hope I am posting to the right place.  I have
    been a user only and not a kernel developer.

    I built myself a custom kernel with the kernel
    config file attached at the end of this email.
    It works.  However, if I remove some of the
    unused NICs (for example fxp, rl, sf), the kernel
    complains that it cannot find device ad and
    waiting with a 'mountroot>' prompt.

    I built a kernel with DDB and boot the kernel
    with -v.

    Of course, I cannot really see the messages as
    they scroll by rather quickly.  In addition, all
    the messages are not on disk, as the disk is not
    mounting yet.

    How can I proceed to find out why this is happening
    and how to fix this problem?  Thanks for your
    help in advance.
