Kernel with GELI und crypto won't mount /

[Christian Baer]

Hi there, people!

I have a little problem here that is bringing me some headaches. :-(

Yesterday I set up a new FreeBSD 7.0 system (sparc64). This is a Sun U60 
and worked fine for me for ages under 6.3. Installing went without any 
problems. The problems started, when I updated the sources (due to a 
security issue) to RELENG_7. I made a new world and a new kernel. I did 
change the kernel-config by adding two lines:

options   GEOM_ELI
device    crypto

Well, technically I did a fair bit more than that, but when the problems 
started, I went back to a generic kernel with just these two extra 
lines, because I need those two. What this boils down to is that adding 
GEOM_ELI and crypto to the kernel seems to make my / unmountable (see 
dmesg after my sig). The generic kernel works fine but that isn't quite 
good enough because I habe two encrypted providers on the drives.

One other thing might be worth mentioning: The system has two configured 
gmirrors. These are not needed at boot time though and AFAIK no atempts 
to configure them are being made.

Did I mess up somewhere or am I missing the point.

Regards
Chris
