My 2.2.8-R stable-supfile said RELENG_2_2 too :) You have to remember that when 3.0R came out, RELENG_3 didn't exist yet. 3.0 was still -CURRENT. >Well, I haven't got that far yet...

See if you can get a copy of the error messages (man script), search the mailing list archives, post to the list, etc. >> I'm afraid I can't offer any more help, as I went from 2.2.8-R straight to >> 3.0-S via the make aout-to-elf route and subsequent make worlds. > >Was that easy? just curious... Yes, actually. I read through "Ruslan Ermilov's upgrading docs found at http://www.ucb.crimea.ua/~ru/FreeBSD/30upgrade.html" and "``Making the world'' your own By Nik Clayton at http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html". Then I installed the mergemaster port, did a CVSup, then a 2-part aout-to-elf upgrade as per Ruslan's instructions. I remade my /dev according to Nik's instructions (since mergemaster didn't seem to take care of that for me). Except for having to 'rm -R /sys/i386/conf/../../compile/TOY' in order to get 'make depend' to work right with a new kernel compile, I didn't have any problems. Well, actually I did have one problem, and that was because I did a 'make depend ; make ; make install' instead of 'make depend && make && make install' so it installed a previously compiled 2.2.8-R kernel in place of my brand new ELF kernel. I just booted with kernel.old (the 3.0-S generic kernel made during the upgrade) and remade a new 3.0-S kernel. Since the upgrade to stable, I've done one make world and am currently experimenting with vinum (think I've got it right this time). --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
