Forgive me for not being as clear as I should have been. I was trying to = be brief. The original email stated in the paragraph below my procedure... > I cannot understand why this system will not upgrade. Even with the=20 > mergemaster -p commands added this system always boots to FreeBSD=20 > 6.2-RELEASE. I do reboot after the=20 #make installkernel I do run mergemaster; The fact is I made a critical mistake at the beginning of this endeavor = which left me in this condition. I followed this procedure = http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-6x-7x.txt up to = the point where I was supposed to change from /usr/src to /usr/adm and = type "make update". At that moment I knew I made a mistake not coming = from FreeBSD6.4. I got an immediate "Bad system call (core dumped)". I = tried to correct the problem by building world and kernel manually. That = didn't help. Everything builds find with no visible errors. Since then = I've been trying to fix that mistake. Here is an example of what happens = during freebsd-update. # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... Bad system call (core dumped) none found. Fetching public key from update.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata signature for 6.2-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... = done. Fetching metadata index... done. Fetching 2 metadata files... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. Fetching 69 files... failed. # csup also does an immediate core dump. That=E2=80=99s why I'm using = cvsup. My Perl5.8.8 seems unaffected. I'd like to keep my /usr/home if = possible and certain video drivers. That=E2=80=99s why I downloaded and = burned new 7.1 CD's to see if the upgrade there would correct my src. = The install boots up and says it will not fix my src's and tells me to = try cvsup again. Does "uname -a" only show me the MOTD data? I thought that program was a = bit more precise. I've used FreeBSD for years but still consider myself = very new.=20 My supfile looks like this: ------------------------------------------------ # IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites # listed at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html. *default host=3Dcvsup15.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/var/db *default prefix=3D/usr *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_7_1 *default delete use-rel-suffix # If you seem to be limited by CPU rather than network or disk = bandwidth, try # commenting out the following line. (Normally, today's CPUs are fast = enough # that you want to run compression.) *default compress ## Main Source Tree. # # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "src-*" = collections. src-all --------------------------------------------------------- I've used FreeBSD for years but still consider myself very new. I = appreciate the help reminding me to reboot and then make installworld. I = should have written the first email a bit clearer. =20 agrapha -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org = [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Barbara Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 2:05 PM To: brian@box201.com Cc: FreeBSD-stable@FreeBSD.org Subject: cvsup freebsd 6_2 to freebsd 7_1 not upgrading? >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: barbara.xxx1975@libero.it >Data: 05/01/2009=20 22.01 >A: <brian@box201.com>, <FreeBSD-stable@FreeBSD.org> >Ogg: R: cvsup=20 freebsd 6_2 to freebsd 7_1 not upgrading? > > >>Hello List, >>I'm trying to=20 upgrade my system from 6_2 to 7_1 and cannot seem=20 >to do it. >>Perhaps I'm=20 missing something.
