Re: Recovering from a late make installworld failure?
Again for the archives, I got out of the installworld mess caused by an unknown error relatively simply. Booting into single mode was a no-goer, but booting up with the 5.4-RELEASE CD and selecting Upgrade existing system in the sysinstall menu was. I selected the minimal User option (binaries and docs) and mounted /, /var, /tmp and /usr but not /home in the disk editor. The installer did its thing and all was copacetic after rebooting - 5.4-RELEASE installed. Before that, I backed up everything with /rescue/tar and copied it to a safe place, just in case. -- Juha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Recovering from a late make installworld failure?
After cvsuping and doing the usual make buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel, make installworld conked out, very late in the game by the looks of it. I wasn't able to capture the error message at the point of failure unfortunately. Now it's all fun and games with even 'ls' segfaulting and 'make clean' / 'make cleanworld' hanging with: /usr/src/Makefile, line 91: warning: /usr/bin/env -i PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin make -f /dev/null -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX dummy returned non-zero status and no further output. This message: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20031114153630.GA28567 describes a similar situation, and suggests: Reboot to single user mode and finish the installworld, then boot multiuser and your fine again (hopefully) Good advice or not? -- Juha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe; this can happen if you e.g. forget to actually boot the new kernel before installworld. Or you could have destroyed your system somehow and require a reinstall to recover.

This usually only causes problems when you also are trying to upgrade across major revisions (e.g. FreeBSD 4.x - 5.x). Did you do this by accident? Kris pgppo9Q2gdwrU.pgp Description: PGP signature

No, it's a RELENG-5 box that was freshly cvsup'ed this morning (NZ time) and which I had upgraded several times before from source since the original 5.2.1 installation -- I was able to cheat and not boot into single mode for installworld before actually. For the benefit of the list archive, booting into single mode didn't help. Just about every single binary segfaults, including /bin/sh.
