That's why I would go at least (latest) -RELEASE to -STABLE before going -STABLE to -CURRENT, if you must.

Re: questions re updating to -CURRENT
I use 11-STABLE with Intel. Some time ago, there was a switch to drm2 here. Iirc I had to add kld_list="i915kms.ko to rc.conf and ensure that drm2/drm2 and drm2/i915kms are built (which should be default). Are you sure you are not using drm2 already? I would check with kldstat. The message in UPDATING is about removing old code from the tree. In any case, RELEASE to STABLE to CURRENT could be a less bumpy ride. -- Sent from: http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/freebsd-current-f3875308.html ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
questions re updating to -CURRENT
Hello: I finally get to update a system from: FreeBSD 11.0-RC2 #0 r304729: Wed Aug 24 06:59:03 UTC 2016 amd64 to -CURRENT. After reading src/UPDATING, I understand everything (I think) _except_: 20170311: The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version (sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware. I assume the new kernel bits will be automatically built and installed. Are there any changes I need to make elsewhere, e.g. loader,conf or ports? Also: as part of the "safest in-place upgrade" ... how do rm -rf /usr/obj/* and make cleanworld differ?
