If you didn't reboot or drop to single user, the next step is bad. > Then: > fsck -p > mount -u / > mount -a -t ufs > swapon -a > cd /usr/src > make installworld > > make installkernel KERNCONF=MOAK > > It is hard following the order in the handbook Nop. First you intallkernel, then you reboot, then from single user installworld. Note that the ultimate reference for all this is /usr/src/UPDATING; if something is told there, follow it. READ IT. Read it again. Follow it. > I think it is a bit confusing > to read. > In my last mail I wrote it in the wrong order. Could be. But perhaps you should take a little pause, drink a coffee, etc. and retry a little later; often one makes the same mistakes again and again when tired; experience speaking ;) Second suggestion - print this and follow it (if it doesn't conflict with UPDATING, I don't know from what to what you are upgrading): cd /usr/obj chflags -R noschg * rm -Rf * cd /usr/src && make clean all script /tmp/build_kernel_1 make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && touch /tmp/done_Build_Kernel_G make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && touch /tmp/done_Install_Kernel_G CTRL+D if it breaks until here you have a problem with your sources; cvsup. reboot if everithing seems to be OK: script /tmp/mergemaster_p mergemaster -p CTRL+D script /tmp/build_w cd /usr/src make buildworld && touch /tmp/done_Build_World make buildkernel KERNCONF=MOAK && touch /tmp/done_Build_Kernel make installkernel KERNCONF=MOAK && touch /tmp/done_Install_Kernel CTRL+D reboot in single user fsck -p mount -u / mount -a -t ufs swapon -a if needed (you don't have the BIOS clock on UTC) also : adjkerntz -i script /tmp/install_w make installworld CTRL+D reboot script /tmp/build_w maergemaster CTRL+D Of course, heaven only knows what exactly did you do until now; but with script we can try to figure out what goes wrong. The touch(1) are only to be easy to see where it breaks. > If I try again do I have to do it all from the beginning (cvsup src and > ports)? No. The hole make ... doesn't change the sources. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
