Upgrade 9-1-RELEASE to 9-STABLE

I have a problem with rebooting 9.1-RELEASE (yes, all buffers synced.). I read that it was fixed only in 9-STABLE.
Code: 
rm -rf /usr/src
svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
svn update /usr/src
[rebuild and reinstall all - system and kernel, reboot]
# uname -r
9.2-BETA2
Why 9-2-BETA?
Only after installworld in single-user mode I've got a single successful reboot. All following shutdown -r now failed (only power off/on works). Before 9.1 this server successfully worked and rebooted on many releases (up to 6.4-STABLE).
 
Ok, does that mean reboot problem really not fixed yet in -STABLE? So 9.x can't be used in production - just downgrade to 8-STABLE? BTW I'm not using ZFS - only UFS, but the reboot problem exists on two of the three upgraded systems. One amd64 and one i386.
 
No, ZFS not using. Only UFS on /, /tmp, /var and /usr:
Code: 
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/twed0p2 [rw]...
I'm using 3ware 8006-2lp RAID controller with mirror on two SATA harddisks. After shutdown -r now got popular in this forum: All buffers synced. And system doesn't reboot - but success pinging.
