make buildkernel KERNEL or KERNCONF?
in the usr/src/UPDATING file with FreeBSD 4.2: we have: To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current 4.x-STABLE -- make buildworld make buildkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster reboot whereas in the 4.10 I am getting through cvsup: (notice it is kernCONF, not KerNEL anymore). To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current 4.x-STABLE -- make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster [2] reboot I guess I still follow the first one since that is what came with the 4.2. and I am trying to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.10. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
help with installing Java
I am still trying to install Java (to FreeBSD 4.8), which is needed for Tomcat. Are the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/java-tomcat/x60.html outdated? If you follow the instructions, you cannot find the file j2sdk-1_3_1_10-linux-i386.bin at sun.com. so 1). where can I find this file? or 2). are there other instructions on the web to go a different route? thanks.

upgrading from 4.2 to 4.10, succeeded, but still boots 4.2! Help!!!
OK, my old questions might be too simple and I did not get much help from here. My old system was 4.2 and I was trying to upgrade to 4.10. (hardware: K2-6 350 MHz with 384 meg and 20 gig) here is what I managed to do: 1). cvsup to RELENG_4_10 here is the supfile *default host=ftp5.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/home/ncvs *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all ports-all which seemed to be successful (did not see the final message because too many spams filling on my screen, but it was going for a good 30 min -- could it have stopped in the middle?) -- how do I stop the rejected spams showing on the console? very annoying. 2). then I proceeded to follow the book: make buildworld (config MYKERNEL --this was not in the book)**this should not mess things up? make buildkernel KERNEL=MYkernel make installkernel KERNEL=MYkernel reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster reboot no error messages doing all the above steps. 3). I noticed that after reboot the machine was still showing: cyber# dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

So I recompiled the kernel by doing: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf /usr/sbin/config Mykernel /cd ../../compile/Mykernel make depend make make install 5). after reboot, I still see the same 4.2.

upgrading from 4.2 to 4.10
So my system seems to be messed up (see previous messages). I tried cvsup to the old system 4.2 and it did not fix the problem. Today I tried upgrading using my old 4.2 CD (sysinstall again) but still get many sendmail error messages (but seems to be sending and receiving mails file). 1). what is the best way to fix this? I plan to buy the 4.10 Release CDs, but then what? I boot the system with CD and do upgrade, but /usr/src will not be changed. is it safe to remove /usr/src first? 2). I do not quite understand if one need to boot into the new system (4.10) or not, after cvsup to a new source (say 4.10), before doing the make buildworld. The book does not say so , so I assume not. 3). the FreeBSD book says I need to make sure all the ports are up to date before installing JAVA but when I got the ports from 4.10 on a 4.8 system (a differen machine), I had trouble installing Linux Runtime Lib. So I am confused when the book says up to date, does it mean to the same release? (i.e. I should have got ports from 4.8 since my system is 4.8).

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 83, Issue 24
Joshua, Thanks for your answers. It sounds like your src tree needs to be cleaned up (# rm -rf /usr/src/*) is this safe to do? do I clean up it before 'upgrading' to my 4.2 CD? perhaps safer to rename it first? and that you should read the Handbook chapter on using cvsup, write yourself a src-supfile, or use one of the examples, and then follow the well-documented procedure for upgrading your system from source. I read the book, did a cvsup to 4.2 (hoping to overwite the 'new' stuff with the original stuff), tried make buildworld, same error. Today I rebooted with a 4.2 CD, did 'upgrade', but it refuses to upgrade /usr/src (as usual), now I can ssh to the host, but ftp does not work, I got: Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp ls 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||49153|) I now know how to get cvsup to work, but still I do not understand the difference between cvsup vs. buying a CD. Is buying a CD easier to upgrade to a new release? happy holidays, Zach ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
make buildworld dies
Sorry for so many questions. On yet another FreeBSD (4.2), I first did a sysinstall to upgrade to 5.10, it messed up everything because the source (/usr/src) did not match all the config files, so sendmail complains a lot and cannot ssh or telnet to the system. I then did a cvsup (without specify which release, simply cvs) successfully (took like 10 hrs), then today I tried to cd /usr/src make buildworld after about 8 min, it stopped with the following error: cc -O -pipe -DSHELL -I .I/usr/src/bin/sh -Wall -Wfont (? cannot see my own writing) -c /usr/src/bin/sh /usr/src/bin/sh/mknodes.c:101. initializer element is not constant ***error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/bin/sh *** error code 1 stop in /usr/src. now I am sort of stuck. I made a new kernel the day before the sysinstall, but now I cannot even try compile a new kernel because it compains the config file is newer than what it wants. is my system totally messed up? right now apache still works, but I can telnet or ssh out but to the host do not mess upgrades before Christmas, as it gets you in bad mood..:( :( ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
missing sdk1.3.1.10-linux-i386 at sun.com
I am trying to install Tomcat on my FreeBSD (4.8), but got stuck on JDK. anyone know why one link to sun.com is not working? according to the freeBSD directions: 3. Next get out your web browser and head on over to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html and find SDK downloads... I can not find this file: j2sdk-1_3_1_10-linux-i386.bin at the above link, nor can I find in the sun archive. I found one file that is for 586: j2sdk-1_3_1_10-linux-i586.bin and this file did not work for me. I am not sure if I can install java1.4? thanks for any help!
