Hello I'm trying to upgrade from 4.4 Release to 4.8 Stable. Everything goes well until I reboot after building and installing my custom kernel. This machine is a gateway, nat, ipfw. I will also install MySQL, Apache, and PHP4 after upgrading. Prior to upgrading everything worked fine. When I reboot it hangs after: ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 I have a copy of my previous kernel and can boot up using it. Here is a snippet of the probe showing where it fails: sio at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa 0 sio1:type 16550a ppc0:<Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode lpt0:<Printer> on ppbus 0 lpt0:Interrupt-driven por ppi0:<Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 #it hangs here and fail. It seem as though the probe fail while searching for dummynet. After ppi0:<Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 during a successful boot system probe shows DUMMYNET initialized (xxxxxx) IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding disabled,..... According to UPDATING there were changes made with dummynet, bridging and ipfw between 4.4 Release and 4.8 Stable. I tried commenting dummynet and bridging in my custom kernel, rebuilding and installing the kernel with those changes. A 4.8 Stable boot still fail at the same place. A kernel with ppi0<Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 disabled does not work either. I have not been able to find a solution by searching google, and FreeBSD.org either. I have reinstalled the entire OS, starting from a clean install of 4.4 Release, still no success. Any help, suggestion, pointers, or ideas would be appreciated. i386 Gregory
