What is the value after rebooting now ? Hello Peter, and thank you for the reply. I only just now got a chance to bounce the box. I first sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 as that's what it reported, after the [kern/world] install, and before/during my attempts to install -c6. I then confirmed the setting via sysctl, then confirmed sysctl.conf(5) had the sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 setting listed. Bounced the box, and the sysctl.conf settings took. I have absolutely no idea why it wouldn't work as stated in UPDATING, or after loading it in sysctl.conf, yesterday. But it *apparently* works now. I think, under the circumstances, I'd do well to continue to monitor that setting for awhile. Fortunately, given it's FreeBSD, and a server, I won't have a need to bounce it very often.

Applying it directly fixed it. :-) This should not have been necessary if you rebooted. I think you should try and find out what went wrong, as otherwise this will not work when you reboot next time and you will have to set it by hand on each reboot. It sounds like you did all the right things - nt sure why it didnt work for you. Have you rebooted since ?

Having read UPDATING prior to the attempted upgrade, I followed the advise to add 'compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18' to sysctl.conf(5). And rebooted. But what turned out to be the *actual* solution, was to use sysctl(8).

Re: Is there a linux_base available for RELENG_9?
Re-read the error message you pasted into the email. Pay particular attention to the part after "2.6", the last two digits. :) 2.6.16 != 2.6.18 The latter is what needs to be in sysctl.conf, or (as you discovered) entered via sysctl(8). You will need to put the correct values into sysctl.conf, though, for it to be set correctly at boot.

LOL right you are *again*. Immediately after replying to your last response, I checked the current status of 'compat.linux.osrelease' which, as you might have guessed, returned 2.18. So I simply entered it manually, followed by cd'ing to emulators/linux_base-c6;make install. Which went beautifully. SO. In my humble defense; UPDATING indicated sysctl.conf(5), when it *actually* meant sysctl(8). :-) Thank you very much, for taking the time to respond, Gary! --Chris > > Regards, > > Gary ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

For some reason your sysctl.conf setting didn't take. You should investigate why and resolve that and then the port should work. A temporary work around would be to run sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 from a root shell, but it won't last past reboot.

Thanks for the reply, Gary. Right you are. That's exactly what I did to stage for the upgrade; entered 'compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18' into etc/sysctl.conf rebooted, deinstalled x11/nvidia-driver, emulators/linux_base-f10, cd emulators/linux_base-c6; make install which led to: ===> linux_base-c6-6.6_3 compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16 is not supported, please use 2.6.18, BEWARE this is highly experimental. *** [all] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-c6.

If you set sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 you can install linux_base-c6 on RELENG_9 It works well enough at least for nvidia-driver, as my main desktop is 9.3-RELEASE-p9 and has nvidia-driver and linux_base-c6-6.6_3 installed Remember to put compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 into /etc/sysctl.conf so it's preserved on startup I believe if you read the message from linux_base-c6 that's basically what it told you to do.

Is there a linux_base available for RELENG_9?
I performed av svn update for both src (r279796), and ports (r380829) last night. building/installing world/kernel, went as one would hope. Upgrading ports was a different story. Given this box has an nVidia card. I usually start by upgrading emulators/linux_base; which according to UPDATING; meant linux_base-f10 --> linux_base-c6. I deinstalled x11/nvidia-driver, followed by emulators/linux_base-f10. I then attempted to make install emulators/linux_base-c6, which resulted in a message that it wasn't supported. So I simply cd'd to emulators/linux_base-f10, followed by make install. Which resulted in a CVE message; indicating it was vulnerable to glib issues. I'm now stuck w/o hardware support for my video card, and unable to effectively follow a safe port upgrade path, that enables me to keep the options I have chosen for my currently installed ports. Is there a *safe* linux_base available?
