As long as you boot into the new kernel before doing the installworld. If you've done the installworld before you know that the kernel works, you're going to be very unhappy if it doesn't. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: after upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1
If you followed those instructions, you used the wrong cvsup tag. Set the tag to: *default release=cvs delete tag=RELENG_6_1 in your cvsupfile, and rebuild everything again. -Derek At 10:27 AM 5/13/2006, Marwan Sultan wrote: Hello everyone, After years of using freebsd i decided this time to make upgrades insted of fresh install, I'm on 6.0-Release and decided to upgrade to 6.1-R I did whats excatly on https://mikestammer.com/doku.php?id=updateos after comparing it to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html The upgrade steps went sucssuflly without an issue or an error, After the upgrades Done, and reboot, i checked the version by uname -a it was still showing 6.0Release ? isnt suppoze to be 6.1-Release ? $ uname -a FreeBSD Host_Here 6.0-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p7 #0: Sat May 13 11:34:05 UTC 2006 Host_Here:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 did I do anything wrong?

Looks like it. Is there any missing step? Yes, if the below is all you did. Remember that a OS is a kernel and a "userland" or accompanying software that the system uses to interact with the kernel. Please note that I didnot have any custom kernel and i did # make buildkernel # make installkernel without KERNCONF=MYKERNEL variable? correct? Any Advise? how to make it 6.1-Release. See the handbook and Do the Right Thing(TM) ;-) You must: 1. Fetch the new sources, usually via cvsup. 2. Read /usr/src/UPDATING. 3. If needed, run "mergemaser -p" 4. Build a new "world" (all userland programs, libs, utils). 5. Configure your kernel, if desired. 6. Build a new kernel. 7. Install the new kernel. 8. Reboot, preferably in single user mode. 9. Install the world. 10. Run 'mergemaster' to update /etc. I run two scripts that handle everything except 'mergemaster' and the reading of UPDATING (which, :o, I read often after the world fails to build instead of before...) But, since I'm still working and simply checking me mail periodically, it's no big deal to me, personally. I've attached them for reference --- if you choose to use them, it's at your own risk, of course. But you could easily adapt them and test them and use them yourself if you know sh scripting at all. Now, if you did indeed follow the correct procedure, I'd check your supfile first, because you may have fetch the wrong source code Kevin Kinsey #!/bin/sh # By Kevin Kinsey.
