Am I doing this right?
I'm trying to upgrade a 3.4 Release box to the latest Release tree, but running into a few problems, I'm betting someone here can help me! :) From what I've found searching the mailing list archives and web pages,etc this appears to be the way to do things: I cvsup'd the the latest Release and all went well (no complaints), here's my supfile: *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all cvs-crypto Nothing too strange there so I'm assuming that's ok. I then remove the /usr/obj directory do the 'make buildworld' which churns for a while (Only a P166) All seems fine with the build, now here is where I run into some issues. I've found some conflicting infomation as to what the next step is. One source says that I should recompile my kernel, reboot into single user and do a 'make installworld'. Makes sense but I can't recompile my kernel, I get errors like: config GENERIC config: line 20: Unknown machine type config: line 20: syntax error config: line 21: syntax error config: line 22: syntax error ... Specify machine type, e.g. ``machine vax'' Etc,etc,etc,etc... It doesn't know ANY x86 CPU, funny enough it doesn't complain if I stick in 'machine vax'. Now if I do the 'make buildworld' then drop directly to single users and attempt the 'make installworld' it'll go for a bit and then finally error out with: install-info --quiet --defsection="Programming development tools." --defentry="* libcom_err: (com_err).A Common Error Description Library for UNIX." com_err.info /usr/share/info/dir install-info: unrecognized option `--defsection=Programming development tools.' Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Not quite sure what to check, I've done this probably 10 times now and it seems to do the same thing each time... Any hints?

This comes from /usr/src/UPDATING, which contains important information on upgrading, etc. -- snip -- COMMON ITEMS: To build a kernel - Update config, genassym and go: cd src/usr.bin/genassym make depend all install clean cd ../../usr.sbin/config make depend all install clean cd ../../sys/i386/conf config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make depend make make install To rebuild disk /dev entries MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before starting the following: For N in the list of disks MAKEDEV N # eg ad0 for M in the list of slices MAKEDEV NsMa# eg ad0s1a To rebuild everything - make world Except when it doesn't work.

Any hints? Upgrading to 4.0 from 3.x is a little bit more complicated than simply doing "make buildworld make installworld". The file /usr/src/UPDATING will tell you how to do it under the heading "COMMON ITEMS". Also, note that 4.0 has not yet been released and is still under development, meaning be prepared to have flames in your mailbox should you ask any questions that are "stupid".
