Re: Opteron problem after recompile is ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp

thx Kris

i went over the kernel config file and it doesn't seem
so, i successfully made another 3 kernels w/ more and
more components in each, up to the point where the
only items i did away with were just the NiC cards teh
machine dowsn't have. In each case they all compile
fine BUT they all fail on bootup w/ exact same message
as the subject line above.

I did some digging in the mail list archives and it
seems this was a problem w/ the Sparc64 line early
last spring. Was this resolved or is it now appearing
in this amd64 ARCH that i'm using??

Is there another mail list i should be posting to
specifically for the amd64?

thx

 You removed too much from your kernel config file
 relative to GENERIC?

Sorry, I've lost context because you trimmed too much quoted text from
your reply.  Remind me again what your problem is.  Also, if you're
having a problem with a kernel you compiled, you need to show us the
config file so we can verify it.

Well, there's the freebsd-amd64 list ;-)
