Re: src upgrade from 4.11-p16 to 5.4 possible? (some success)

So on my second attempt I made sure my 4.11 system was up to date, and did a complete buildworld, buildkernel, etc. Once I was sure it was completely up to date on 4.11, I: Saved my kernel config file to: /usr/oldkernels/ rm -rf /usr/src rm -rf /usr/ports I changed my cvsup tag and pulled new source. Then I meticulously followed the instructions in /etc/src/UPDATING. Read those instructions, be sure to update your /etc/make.conf file for the right CPU. I did need to create a new kernel configuration file starting with GENERIC and boot.hints from my old 4.11 kernel configuration file. All went well except one library didn't get put in place when I did the installworld. It was built but just not in place, so I saw an error when I booted the system, and moved it manually. The library that didn't get moved was: libc.so.4 I did add: COMPAT4X= yes to my make.conf file and options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 to my kernel config file, but still had to make sasl2 and sendmail for sasl2. Otherwise the ports I had seemed to mostly work.

Re: src upgrade from 4.11-p16 to 5.4 possible? (some success)
I have had trouble in the past with point releases caused by two different sources: Once source is an out of date /etc/make.conf, so compare yours with the new one with the new source tree in: /usr/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf The other problem I have had is with some cvsup mirrors. You may want to try a different mirror to pull the 5.4 source from. -Derek At 12:00 PM 4/7/2006, B.
