For 9.2 I recently updated to Revision: 266585 via svn east: URL: https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.2 Relative URL: ^/releng/9.2 Repository Root: https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base Repository UUID: ccf9f872-aa2e-dd11-9fc8-001c23d0bc1f Revision: 266585 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: delphij Last Changed Rev: 265988 Last Changed Date: 2014-05-13 19:24:14 -0400 (Tue, 13 May 2014) I then used these instructions, as I normally do: 2. `make buildworld' 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' upon reboot, this error was written to my screen: Trying to mount root from ufs:dev/ad4s1a failed with error 19 Then my keyboard fails, so I need to warm reset the machine. Booting kernel.old (from April 9) succeeds; so following the instructions in the handbook I mv kernel.old to kernel and reboot. The error above recurs. I am currently using GENERIC. Prior to this update, as one might suspect, my machine booted fine from dev/ad4s1a. Additionally, it boots fine from GENERIC dated Nov 29 2012. A few minutes ago, I re-ran svn up . but the revision has not changed; prior to this, I suspected a fault during the kernel build, so I re-ran that overnight with no success. uname -a is not helpful, since I am running GENERIC: FreeBSD whisperer.chthonixia.net 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #1: Thu Nov 29 10:01:39 EST 2012 root@whisperer.chthonixia.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 The question should be obvious: what happened, and how can I fix it? Please Cc: since I am not subscribed to the list. I do, however, check the archived posts at freebsd.org. Thanks in advance for any help, Joe Altman
