Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Just a very quick question. I've currently got 2.2.2-RELEASE installed on my system in Toronto (I'm in Halifax)...Due to a recently reported problem where my machine is rebooting on a regular basis (I suspect once an hour), I'm thinking of upgrading the machine to 2.2-STABLE (RELENG_2_2 via cvsup)...I'm just downloading the sources now, but am wondering if I'm going to experience any problems doing this? ie. periodically, if I upgrade my 3.0-CURRENT machine at home, there are structural changes that require a recompile of various utilities (ps, who, etc). Should I expect any similar problems going from 2.2.2-RELEASE -> 2.2-STABLE? Anything that would prevent my ability to telnet back into the machine after it is rebooted with the new kernel? Thanks...
