Hi, This is just a follow up with my previous mailings I'm upgrading my 4.9 system to 4.10. The steps I made were as follows and also what happened after doing so. First: I used the /stand/sysinstall-->Ugrade (only bin selected..)--->100 % completed--->rebooted says: can't load kernel... booting kernel.old... So, I used the cvsup method and fetched the sources for the following... include base sys bin etc sbin tools share usrbin usrsbin release Next, I went to /usr/src and did a make buildworld.. says something like... compile error... (I think i missed some more needed sources) So, I just did a make buildkernel... then... make installkernel Last... I rebooted and then... (I shouted YEAH BOOY!!! I'm invinsible!!!... and UPGRADED TOO!!!) I see something like loading kernel FreeBSD 4.10 (whiew!) Questions: Am I totally upgraded to freebsd 4.10 now? Or its just the kernel that was upgraded and is it possible?)Cause I didn't able to successfully make buildworld... If its just the kernel... Do you have any idea what else from the sources that I've cvsuped must be missing for me to be able to do a make buildworld and make myself land in a perfect freebsd 4.10 userland? And is it necessary to do a make buildworld? One last thing... the GENERIC kernel configuration located in my /usr/src/sys/i386/conf that I have copied and edited before... Is it safe to use that again??Is it the new 4.10 configuration file? Because after compiling... I've lost the kernel support for my sound card and atapicam driver... Thanks a lot!!! -jay __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/
