Recompiled freebsd 5.4 cannot boot up with geom_mirror
Hi, I am having some problem with geom_mirror on a freebsd 5.4. I followed the steps described in http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ and got geom_mirror up on a stock freebsd 5.4, including / partition itself. The problem came when I compiled the kernel. After pulling in the latest source tree, compiling and installing the new kernel, I find that the OS can no longer bootup. I did with 2 kernel configurations. The 1st is completely identical to the stock kernel config. The 2nd has an extra line options GEOM_MIRROR. Both failed to boot up although the errors are different. 1st config -- The boot process got stucked when it tries to mount / The error message is something like this Mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 This is despite the fact that /boot/loader.conf has specified the loading of geom_mirror.ko module; the console message also indicate geom_mirror was successfully loaded. 2nd config (with kernel option GEOM_MIRROR) --- The boot process got stucked before it tries to mount / The last lines of the messages are Timecounter TSC frequency 1130454577 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec Does anyone know what went wrong?
