But given that you've already done the reinstall, I suppose there's no way to go back now :/... make(1) and friends come on the live CD or USB stick images ? AFAIR they didn't and it required a chroot(1) into the newly mounted environment and then running make(1) after invoking /rescue/sh to continue the install from a previously built world. If so then the above would become: chroot /mnt /rescue/sh cd /usr/src mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster sync ;sync ;reboot --- continue whatever other steps from here... The above assumes you have already installed your new kernel. If not then it should be obvious of the steps you have to take to get that done.

A lot of the time, an upgrade binary install will do the job, with less risk to your /etc directory. I had a problem like this not that long ago, thanks to the new kernel crashing (but not until I'd had time to start the installworld). Going back to the old kernel and copying in the libraries that didn't work was enough to get me up enough to retry the upgrade with a GENERIC kernel. I don't generally recommend running -current to anybody unless they have some comfort with recovering from these kinds of problems... ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
