Hey michael,
First, I'd advise making use of FreeBSD's nextboot utility to test new kernels: http://fuse4bsd.creo.hu/localcgi/man-cgi.cgi?nextboot+8 Second, I would suggest reading the handbook's excellent section on upgrading your machine or rebuilding the kernel: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html Now, a likely cause of your problem is the installation of a custom kernel with removed support for whatever your hard disk drive or raid controller is recognized as. Did you reinstall your old, working kernel, or are you actually asking for help doing just that ?
