Help please: 11.1 upgrade USB disk 'stumble' at boot

F

firetree

I've just upgraded from 10.3 to 11.1 on my Samsung N110 netbook personal/home business server; I have no GUI installed.

All was well using 10.3 but now with 11.1 on booting:

USB disks da0 and da1 cannot be found;
prompt for Single User Mode is presented but boot appears to continue;
boot then appears to hang having detected the webcam;
RETURN brings the # prompt;
entering 'exit' continues with boot normally to login prompt;
both USB disks perform normally once booted.

Disks:
1 internal. ada0
1 USB keydrive, 2GB, used for write-only anon FTP. da0
1 USB 'Backups' disk in enclosure. da1

I guess that the 'hang' at webcam is the Single User Mode shell choice, it's just that a few messages flush out, including successful mounts of da0 and da1.

I've tried a different USB disks but get the same results.

So... I'd be grateful for advice as to how can I fix this 'stumble' into Single User Mode and boot without intervention, m'thanks.

From dmesg -a:

The fun starts at line 154;
The SUM shell prompt is Line 160;
Lines 161-185 appear without delay from the SUM shell prompt, (the 'flush');
Line 186 is me pressing RETURN and entering 'exit';
Boot continues normally from Line 187.

Not sure, but... are you using a custom kernel by any chance? If so is it possible that you didn't load certain required kernel modules so that it can't directly access these storage devices before doing so?

Also, does it make a difference if you add late to the options in /etc/fstab? This would tell the system not to mount these drives right away but at a later time in the boot process.

Wooo, er, hoooo!
Custom Kernels are a bit beyond me but the 'late' option seems to have done the trick.
Many thanks for the swift reply.

Something with ada0 must be wrong with this message showing:
"Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed, startup aborted."

I don't see ada0p1 either? How about doing a gpart show for us.

Have you tried booting without either USB attached? Does it boot then?

Thanks... but sorted!
