A note: these disconnects are not at all common during a normal ssh connection to this computer, it seems due to the resource-intense operations required for updating freebsd. More likely to be bad queuing in the gateway or you're hitting the default session timeout of 5 minutes of inactivity. See man ssh_config for ServerAliveInteral and TCPKeepAlive. 10. log back in, ran freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-RELEASE [..success] 11. ran freebsd-update install [and of course ssh dies during Installing updates...] 12. log back in, ran freebsd-update install. 13. Then i ran nextboot -k GENERIC and got /boot/GENERIC doesn't exist. so, i copied kernel.old to /boot/GENERIC This is out of sequence and likely the cause for some problems. First of all, you must be sure that kernel.old is really a GENERIC 7.0-RELEASE kernel. Secondly, this step /should/ have been run /before/ freebsd-update install. 14. Ok, maybe this was the problem. for some reason at this point i decide to run freebsd-update install again, and get no updates are available. 15. Then I run freebsd-update -r 7.2-RELEASE upgrade again.. it downloads some patches, but then i get this error: /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory about 100 times.. plus, i get questions like Running an upgrade again, without a rollback is generally not a good idea. The following file will be removed, as it no longer exists in FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE: /boot/device.hints Does this look reasonable (y/n)? which doesn't look very good. 16. so, i issued a shutdown -r now command and crossed my fingers.. the system is still up, but it hasn't been upgraded (uname still reports 7.0-p11 for booting form the GENERIC kernel, and 7.0-p9 for the custom kernel). on top, make buildworld fails with: Stop in /usr/src/secure/lib/libssh. *** Error code 1 every time. and worse, any csup command dies with /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: version FBSD_1.1 required by /lib/libthr.so.3 not found along with a lot of other commands... any ideas?? Your world and kernel are out of sync, because of loading a not upgraded kernel with a freebsd-update'd 7.2 world. I would try fetching the 7.2 livefs ISO, mount it as a vnode and install the GENERIC kernel from there to get your system back in working order. Example steps: $ sha256 /data/isos/7.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso SHA256 (/data/isos/7.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso) = 4faa7b9d78d125f9b28521247e32e1f0bef3b0b0f21b654ba22c6e79ca3301ce $ sudo mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /data/isos/7.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso -u 0 $ sudo mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt $ sudo mv /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.bogus $ sudo cp -Rp /mnt/boot/kernel /boot/ $ shutdown -r now # may need sudo if you're not in operator group If you still have problems after this, it's likely you need single user mode to get back into working order. Given the number of errors given by the second freebsd-update upgrade command I wouldn't trust a freebsd-update rollback. This would be where I'd restore the backups using a livecd and restart the freebsd-update process, this time sticking verbatim to the handbook, but skipping the portupgrade test run. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Problem with make buildworld during upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE
Great response! There's a lot of good info here. Thanks, and I will check out the SSH keepalive settings. To update, I did finally solve my problem, although I was in a pickle there for a bit. Ironically, it's more intuitive to me to just do the install the old way (using make buildworld): I decided to attempt to install cvsup from my ports tree and thankfully it worked fine: cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup make install make clean [Then, I just did:] tar -cyv /usr/home/myuser/7.2-RELEASE-src.tar.bz2 /usr/src/ rm -r /usr/src mkdir /usr/src rm -r /usr/obj cvsup my-supfile that gave me a fresh copy of the FreeBSD RELEASE-7.2 source tree (my-supfile had the correct release engine specified), and cleaned out any garbage that might have been in the /usr/obj directory [then:] mergemaster -pv env -i make buildworld nextboot -k GENERIC make buildkernel make installkernel shutdown -r now [log back in as su, then] mergemaster make installworld shutdown -r now [log back in as su, then] uname -a and get a nice listing that I'm running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 I'm guessing this method will work no matter what as long as you can install cvsup. Nice that I can do it over SSH too! Now to build a custom kernel!

Problem with make buildworld during upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE
Hello, I am going thru my first FreeBSD upgrade and it's not going too smoothly. I originally started the upgrade using the freebsd-update method. This is what I've done so far (all as root user): PS. I am using a custom kernel. 1. ran portsnap fetch update - [success] 2. ran portupgrade -va [portupgradenot found - i hadn't installed it yet 3. ran freebsd-update fetch [success] (i know this was out of sequence from the guide) 4. installed portupgrade (make install clean from the dir in ports) [ssh connection dropped, so i had to login again] 5. installed portupgrade (make install) [success] then make clean [success] 6. ran portupgrade -va [long process begins... strangely, several X components install although this is not desired] 7. ran freebsd-update fetch again [success] 8. ran freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-RELEASE [ssh connection dies during preparing to download files, so i log in again] 9. ran freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-RELEASE [~27,000 updates..] and of course ssh connection dies during Fetching 3060 files although applying patches succeeds.
