Ah, so that's what causes that.

Any particular reason GENERIC has SMP, but doesn't set PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128?

 From the above description, it sounds like you are running
 on a 5.1 system, and you are trying to compile a 5.2 kernel.
 Is this true?
 
 If the system you are on is 5.1, then you are going to have
 to do a 'make buildworld' of the 5.2-source before you can
 do a 'make buildkernel' of a 5.2 kernel.

It's not clear from what you're saying, but will this cause problems with
the statfs stuff?  I've been under the impression that a 5.1-5.2 upgrade
requires me to build and boot a new kernel before I can install a new world
-- it's not clear if you're saying I need to build /and install/ a new world
before building a kernel, or if I just need to build world...

 Just build, as all the documentation (UPDATING, handbook, ...) says.

Thanks for clearing that up.

 My comments were not trying to cover the installation steps.
 All I said was that you have to do a BUILDworld before you
 do a BUILDkernel, because it sounded to me like you might
 have been building a 5.2 kernel without doing any matching
 buildworld.

And my request for clarification was as a result of you not mentioning any
of the install steps -- I (having recently botched a 5.1-5.2-BETA upgrade)
didn't know if you were /insinuating/ an installworld, or if you left it out
because it wasn't to be done.  Hence my request.  But this has all been
cleared up now -- thanks.

 with a 5.2 /usr/src:
  * make buildworld
  * make buildkernel
  * make installkernel
  * reboot to single-user
  * make installkernel
  * mergemaster
  * reboot

I think you want that second 'installkernel' to actually be an
'installkernel'.

 The issue is, your kernel will continue handing out old file system
 structures until you reboot with a new one.  Rather early in the
 installworld process, you will stop being able to use fundamental system
 commands like ls and cp, which expect the new structures.

According to the posts by Mr. McKusick, the new kernel should be able to
understand both the old and the new structures -- so cp should *not* break.
So long as you follow his instructions, and reboot with the new kernel
before doing the installworld.

 Also, a small number of ports break as well.  Between the mergemaster
 and reboot steps you may wish to rebuild any critical ports.  postfix,
 for example, refuses to start it's smtpd until you rebuild it.  Any
 other ports which behave oddly, particularly those which die with a
 signal 11, probably need a rebuild.

Yes, I ran into that as well.  I gave up on guessing which ports needed to
be re-compiled, and just did a portupgrade -fa, and went to bed.

 I'd advise some more coffee, you probably meant 'installworld' on the
 second instance. ;)

Oh wow.  Thanks.  I'll go find my caffeine drip...
