Problem upgrading to -current
Hoi, I've tried to upgrade to -current a few minutes ago. Before upgrading I had FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p2 After a make buildworld / make buildkernel /make installkernel and erbooting, I still have FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p2 Now, when I try to do a make installworld it stops with the following error: Checking to see if your booted kernel is fresh enough.. /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh/sh -c 'echo Testing installed kernel for new sigaction(2) syscall' Bad system call (core dumped) *** Error code 140 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. What's wrong?? Thank you! Regards, --Beastie -- Martin Hasenbein -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://bsd.net UNIX, a way of life. FreeBSD, my choice of living.
