Yes, I thought it wasn't ideal either but gcc 2.7.2.1 that comes with 3.4-RELEASE doesn't seem to be able to build the world OR the kernel at the moment. At least with the above steps I got the system up enough to be able to rebuild world and the kernel with the 4.0 toolset. I also had problems with "genassym". I had to build and install it before I could compile the kernel. Carl. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

The procedure for going form 3.4 to -current is make your -current kernel reboot do make world make -current kernel again - Original Message - From: "Robert Schien" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2000 9:42 AM Subject: 3.4 - current upgrade/bootstrap problem I wanted to upgrade my 3.4 system to current. I cvsuped the current sources and did a 'make buildworld'. This went fine. Now I tried 'make installworld' . This crashed with a signal 12 error in /bin/sh. I already have used current for years. For some reason I had to install 3.4 on the machine and now I wanted to go back to current. The procedure I always used was: make buildworld make installworld reboot compiling new kernel reboot Now I have a bootstrapping problem with /bin/sh (bad system call). How can I solve this problem?

Chapman Jr. wrote: The procedure for going form 3.4 to -current is make your -current kernel reboot do make world make -current kernel again I have just successfully done this. I had problems trying to compile with gcc 2.7.2 so I installed the gcc 2.95 package and did all my compiles using it. Here is what I did... 1. install gcc 2.95 port. 2. cd /usr/bin and rename cc and gcc to *.old and symlink cc and gcc to /usr/local/bin/gcc295 (Remember to delete the .old entries once you're finished) I did the cc/gcc rename as the buildworld kept complaining that it couldn't find gcc295. :( Then I built the 4.0-CURRENT config so I could build a kernel. 2. update to current sources (cd /usr ; cvs co src) 3. cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config 4. "make ; make install" Created and built the new kernel. 5. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 6. create new kernel config file 7. config -r KERNEL 8. cd /usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL 9. "make depend ; make ; make install" Then booted into the kernel to do the rest of the install. 10. reboot into single user mode (boot -s) 11. mount / /usr /var /tmp (readwrite) 12. cd /usr/src 13. "make buildworld" (I think at this point I had problems using the "-j14" parm) 14. "make installworld" 15. cd /etc 16. run "mergemaster" and update your configuration 17. reboot into 4.0-CURRENT Then I rebuilt the kernel with a complete 4.0-CURRENT toolset. 18. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 19. "config -r KERNEL" 20. cd /usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL 21. "make depend ; make ; make install" 22. reboot This was done on a Dell PowerEdge 2300 with Dual PIII 450s, 512Mb RAM and 54Gb disk (3 x 9Gb in a Vinum stripe). Carl.
