The following reply was made to PR kern/179814; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Adam McDougall <mcdouga9@egr.msu.edu> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, hugo@barafranca.com Cc: "Justin T. Gibbs" <gibbs@FreeBSD.org> Subject: Re: kern/179814: mountroot fails with error=19 under Xen on 9-STABLE Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:13:17 -0400 The cause is r251973 which MFC'ed r251175: svn rev 251175 Author:gibbs Date:2013-05-31T04:43:19.944993Z ============== Apply the ad* => ada* IDE device name transition to the Xen block front driver. Submitted by: Bei Guan <gbtju85@gmail.com> Reviewed by: gibbs MFC after: 1 week To prevent people running into the same issue as you, I think the kernel needs to make compat /dev/ad* device entries so it does not trip people up like this. In the meantime you can update your fstab before rebooting to use /dev/ada*, which ideally people should do anyway. This is probably deserving an entry in UPDATING too, either way. I've been meaning to bring this up but I've been busy. My systems use ZFS which won't care, but the change as-is will probably affect my installation procedures.
