Are you using the correct cables? I had a problem when I changed system
cases and used the wrong cable when I put the drives back in (IDE cable
instead of a SATA cable) I now have FreeBSD 5.4-p3 booting up fine and
without error. I think this is a common problem, where people forget
about the minor details(I am sure we are all guilty of this at some time)

I have one IDE and two SATA drives in my system. With
FreeBSD 5.4 the system would not boot from the SATA

the SATA drives in fstab. I tried upgrading to RELENG_6
and with the new kernel one of the SATA drives errors
out and so can't be mounted. I don't have the error message
using the 6.0 kernel but here is dmesg from 5.4 if it helps:
ad4: 76319MB <WDC WD800JD-00HKA0/13.03G13> [155061/16/63] at ata2-master
SATA150
ad6: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JD-00HBB0/08.02D08> [232581/16/63] at ata3-master
SATA150
It is at4 that is failing with 6.0, this drive never gives any problem under
5.4. Both SATA drives are plugged into the same really cheap addon pci
card.
I'll be happy to provide more detail if requested and I'm able.
Thank you,
