Difference between FreeBSD-7 and FreeBSD-8 in tasting?

Hello, Freebsd-geom.

  I'm porting geom_raid5 to FreeBSD8, and have strange problem: when
module is loaded after system start (with kldload) it tastes its
consumers (configured early) and creates array.

  When it is loaded on boot time (with /boot/loader.conf), it doesn't
see array components at all, as if taste is not called...

  It works on FreeBSD7 flawless in both cases...

  I've changed only two things:
    (1) allow root_mount_hold() tocken to be NULL
    (2) change working thread creation from kthread_create() to kproc_kthread_add().

 What are other differences in GEOM between 7 and 8?
