Unable to boot FreeBSD 8.0

[Christopher Key]

Hello,

I'm using FreeBSD 7.2, and am attempting to update to 8.0.


I've been through the standard,

make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel

but cannot get the newly installed kernel to boot.  The system freezes
as soon as the loader tries to boot the kernel.  It doesn't even get as
far as the copyright message:

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK boot -Dd
\


I've tried a custom kernel based upon my 7.2 config, a generic config
and most recently a generic config with KDB and DDB enable all with the
same result.  The 7.2 kernel continues to work normally.

This is an amd64 system booting from two gmirrored disks  The mirror is
partitioned using gpt.  Included below is the output from pciconf -lv
(under 7.2).  I don't know what other information may be relevant, nor
the commands to obtain it.

I'm not quite sure how to proceed with debugging this.  Any thoughts or
suggestions would be much appreciated.


Kind regards,

Christopher Key
