FreeBSD mybox.mynet.local 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 08:58:24 UTC 2009 root at driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
(happens on a selfcompiled kernel)
>Description:
Recompiling the kernel on 7.1-RELEASE (amd64 platform) with k8temp and smbios in the kernel configuration somehow breaks geom_mirror autodetection and is therefore unable to boot from the /dev/gm0 mirrors.
The previous root device /dev/gm0s1a is now detected as both /dev/gm0cs1a and /dev/gm0ccs1a upon booting the new kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
cp /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/VOODOO
echo "device k8temp" >> /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/VOODOO
echo "device smbios" >> /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/VOODOO
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=VOODOO
make installkernel KERNCONF=VOODOO
reboot
>Fix:
Remove "device k8temp" and "device smbios" from the kernel configuration file.
