Actually, it reports 3.0-CURRENT from October 1998. When we started, 3.0-RELEASE wasn't quite out and 2.2 didn't support the disk controllers. Now we finally want to get onto 3.2-STABLE. I've done "make worlds" on plenty of systems and rebuilt kernels. Usually no problem. Here I'm very concerned about elf vs. aout or library incompatibilities. There were also around that time some issues with the boot sector (?) needing to be marked some special way but I've forgotten. The ISP is 8 time zones away so I can't fix it if the make world and new kernel fail. What problems can I expect? Suggestions for avoiding them?
