Subject: Re: kern/144824: [boot] [patch] boot problem on USB (root partition
mounting)
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:56:05 +0200
You have to move the ma initialization inside the retry loop,
because kernel_mount() frees it, otherwise I get a kernel panic.
With that changed, the patch solves the issue with an Intel
S5000PAL board booting from USB, where da0 attaches slightly
too late. Possibly related to the RMM2 (remote management
module), which attaches multiple (virtual) CD-ROM drives to
USB, which produce CAM/SCSI status errors.
