I've had this very same problem. I had to go into the kernel config and change comment out this line:

options        ATA_STATIC_ID

I may have also had to edit /etc/fstab so that it had the proper device name in it.

Then I could rebuild the kernel and it worked.

For me this had to to with the device names not matching up properly and after going to the latest version of 7 it would not find the correct device names for the drive.

Dear all,

I've tried to upgrade my FreeBSD server from 6.3-RELEASE to 7.0-RELEASE, but it is failed to boot after make kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC.
I didn't modify any file at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, it was all default.
After done make kernel and reboot, system stop at:

   Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec
   ad0: 38166MB <Seagate ST340016A 3.75> at ata0-master UDMA100

I can't boot in single mode, but I can boot in safe mode, and it showed:

   Manual root filesystem specification:
   <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
   eg. ufs:da0s1a
   ? List valid disk boot devices
   <empty line> Abort manual input

I type "?" for list, but it only show acd0 and fdc0, "ufs:ad0s1a" or "ufs:/dev/ad0s1a" are not working

I can boot with /boot/kernel.old now (6.3-RELEASE), I rebuilt kernel again and again, but still not work. I check the difference between old GENERIC on 6.3-RELEASE and new GENERIC on 7.0-RELEASE, it has not difference besides new add in 7.0-RELEASE.

Is any one can help me? I don't want to reinstall...because I don't have install cd...

And sorry for my poor English, thank you for reading!
