Please re-read ... I'm talking about the "make buildworld" step ... if you did not follow it with a "make installworld" at some point, then your world was never updated and you're running a kernel newer than your world. > > > If that's the case, get booted into the system and re-run the upgrade > > process. > > Be sure to do all the steps this time, as described in 21.4.1: > > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html > > > >> When I reboot and the kernel starts to load...it *always* just stops at > >> the same point and just sits there doing nothing at "acd1: CD-RW >> CD-RW > >> info> at ata1-slave PIO4"... > >> > >> If I restart and run "kernel.GENERIC" from the boot prompt I can get it > >> to > >> load the kernel, but I want to be able to go into single-user mode to > >> mount the file system, plus I just don't like having things acting > >> screwy. > > > > -- > > Bill Moran > > Potential Technologies > > http://www.potentialtech.com > > > > > > > > -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you did, literally, what you describe, then your problem is that you upgraded improperly. "make buildworld" builds world, but doesn't install it. "make kernel" makes and installs the kernel. If you did the steps you describe, then you have a kernel and a world with mistmatched versions. If that's the case, get booted into the system and re-run the upgrade process. Be sure to do all the steps this time, as described in 21.4.1: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html > When I reboot and the kernel starts to load...it *always* just stops at > the same point and just sits there doing nothing at "acd1: CD-RW info> at ata1-slave PIO4"... > > If I restart and run "kernel.GENERIC" from the boot prompt I can get it to > load the kernel, but I want to be able to go into single-user mode to > mount the file system, plus I just don't like having things acting screwy. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Problem while upgrading to 4.10 from 4.7...
Alright, I have been trying to upgrade FreeBSD from 4.7 to 4.10...I used cvsup to get all the files "make buildworld" when through just fine, but the problem comes after "make kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC"... When I reboot and the kernel starts to load...it *always* just stops at the same point and just sits there doing nothing at "acd1: CD-RW at ata1-slave PIO4"... If I restart and run "kernel.GENERIC" from the boot prompt I can get it to load the kernel, but I want to be able to go into single-user mode to mount the file system, plus I just don't like having things acting screwy. Anyone have any advice for me? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
