With this minimal change, I get the following when booting: ccdconfig ... fsck .... mount: ufs filesystem is not available Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Enter full pathname for shell .... I got this when I upgraded from the 19980803-SNAP (ie, pre-LETTERS), to -CURRENT from a CVSup yesterday. I have *not* passed thru E-day, but the CVSup did take me thru C-day and P-day. Thru many kernel compiles, I have narrowed it down the changes below. Note that uncommenting any one of the options resolves the problem. I usually don't statically compile in these FS's so that the LKM versions will be used. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) --- GENERIC Sat Sep 19 13:55:55 1998 +++ MINBAD Tue Sep 29 23:45:23 1998 @@ -25,12 +25,12 @@ options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options NFS #Network Filesystem -options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem -options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem -options "CD9660_ROOT" #CD-ROM usable as root device +#options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem +#options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem +#options "CD9660_ROOT" #CD-ROM usable as root device options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] -options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device -options PROCFS #Process filesystem +#options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device +#options PROCFS #Process filesystem options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Be pessimistic about Joe SCSI device options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
