Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade a 4.7-RELEASE machine to 4.9. The make buildworld has gone ok, but installworld failed. At first, it appeared that this was because the machine was running in securelevel 1. I had the following in /etc/rc.conf: kern_securelevel_enable="YES" kern_securelevel="1" I changed that to kern_securelevel_enable="NO" kern_securelevel="-1" and rebooted the machine. sysctl -a | grep secure shows kern.securelevel: -1 however a make installworld is still failing with: Stop in /usr/src/include. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. I then tried touching my kernel, which also fails, with: # touch kernel touch: kernel: Operation not permitted I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed as the only thing I could think to do was to disable securelevel in /etc/rc.conf :( does anyone know what I may have missed or how I might rectify this issue ? Thanks, -- Wayne Pascoe 'tis far easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission - probably someone famous, but more often, my Dad.
