Then when you run into trouble with your custom kernel you can post a diff(1) between it and GENERIC. Then it's easy to see what you've enabled/disabled, left-out etc. As it stands, it takes too much time for people to compare your custom kernel with GENERIC.

One thing to try is entering ? there, to produce a list of recognized filesystems. Comparing that list with what you expected might provide a clue. Another possibility would be to compare the dmesg from your kernel with the one from GENERIC. > Apparently something is wrong with my kernel config file. > > Can somebody check it below and tell me what is wrong with my > kernel config file?

Supposing the disk is partitioned with GPT (not with MBR/BSD, which you appear to be excluding) I see nothing blatantly obvious, but I am far from an expert in such matters. It might be worthwhile to check UPDATING to see if anything rings a bell, and/or compare your config file with the GENERIC one. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
FBSD 8: custom kernel config ends boot at "mountroot>". Plz. help!
Hi, My system boots fine with the GENERIC kernel on FreeBSD 8.0 I made a custom kernel, but the boot process then ends with the mountroot> error and prompt. Apparently something is wrong with my kernel config file. Can somebody check it below and tell me what is wrong with my kernel config file? Especially the GEOM_PART_* at the end might be the culprit, although this configuration used to work for 7.3. Thank you!
