Error 19 on upgrading 9.0.-->9.1

[joshxie]

I synchronized the 9.1-release source by cvsup to /usr/src, and then custom the kernel by step:

        make buildworld;
        make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN;
        make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN;
        shutdown -r now;

with no errors.

But when rebooting, I've got the error 19 just as the image:

I've tried 2 times of different configuration with the same error. By the way, I use Clang to compile the source. What should I do now?

The link appears to be a 404, but it's in Chinese so I'm not sure. It's not a picture of a FreeBSD screen, anyway.

Error 19 is "device not found". That can be caused by several things. Has the disk ever been part of a RAID? Is it USB?

sorry for image

Thanks for your answer.
but there is no raid. I installed 9.0 on a SCSI disk by VirtualBox

The error info just like the screenshot below:

Ah, that's different. In general, I have found changing from the default virtual hardware in VirtualBox is a mistake. Leave it with the default hardware (IDE, PIIX4) and install again.

Or you can type ufs:/dev/da0p2 at the prompt. It might work.

OK, I'll have a try.

by the way, how system locate the kernel configuration file by this means:
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/kernelconfig.html#_including_generic

I mean, if I create a copy of GENERIC to /root/kernconfs/GENERIC, and then create a
new configration named NEWCONF which include GENERIC.
[CMD="cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf"];[/CMD]
[CMD="ln -s /root/kernconfs/NEWCONF NEWCONF"];[/CMD]
[CMD="make buildworld"];[/CMD]
[CMD="make buildkernel KERNCONF=NEWCONF"];[/CMD]
Now here, my NEWCONF include which "GENERIC" file ? The one in the /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf or the one in the /root/kernconf?

 

[wblock@]

If you make a copy of GENERIC, there's little point in including the whole thing. But please start a new thread for new subjects.
