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.
Well, I didn't use make buildkernel I used make kernel which from what
I understood was the same as typing both make buildkernel and make
installkernel...
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 My
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.
