Check the mailing lists and PRs to see if anyone has had problems. It probably works. ># csup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.freebsd.org >/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile I think that this file contains: *default release=cvs tag=. which would update /usr/src to 9-CURRENT (-head). That doesn't sound like what you want. Instead, you probably want the stable-supfile in the same directory instead, which probably has(check this yourself): *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 That would update your sources to the latest 8-STABLE, which is a little in advance of 8.1. Or you could change the tag to RELENG_8_1, to be more conservative. That would be 8.1+critical updates, if any. ># cd /usr/src ># make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL ># make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL You probably want to update the rest of the base system as well as the kernel. Follow the instructions near the bottom of /usr/src/UPDATING, something like: cd /usr/src make buildworld kernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL reboot in single user fsck -p / mount -u / mount -a adjkerntz -i mergemaster -p cd /usr/src make installworld make delete-old delete-old-libs mergemaster -i reboot b. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
