A user experience report: I tried to take my recently constructed SSD for booting $ freebsd-version -ku; uname -a 11.0-CURRENT 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD FBSDG3C0 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r279514M: Mon Mar 9 22:24:27 PDT 2015 root@FBSDG4S0:/usr/obj/usr/srcC/sys/GENERICvtsc-NODEBUG powerpc on PowerMacs and update a copy of it to -r279813 via: cd /usr/srcC/ svnlite update -r279813 make -j 8 buildworld kernel KERNCONF=GENERICvtsc-NODEBUG INSTKERNNAME=kernel11C make installworld But the installworld eventually failed with a Bus Error notice reported after the line indicating /libexec/ld_elf.so.1 had been established... =>> libexec/rtld-elf/tests/target (install) ... /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 -> /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Bus error (core dumped) *** Error code 138 After that any attempt to load a program (say by typing ls) also got a bus error. Already loaded programs continued to work from what I could tell (such as the shell I was typing to). (This tracks when ld-elf.so.1 would be involved vs. not.) Another attempt was to buildworld and buildkernel on one r279514 boot SSD and to then installkernel and installworld via DESTDIR=/mnt to another SSD. But /sbin/init got a Bus Error when booting the updated SSD. I ended up reverting to an SSD where the -r279514 11.0-CURRENT kernel and world had not been updated. I did not ever try substituting ld-elf.so.1.old . This effort was made on a PowerMac G5 despite the non-64 status of the build. (I have yet to build and install a powerpc64 variant of a fairly recent 11.0-CURRENT snapshot.) I'm not likely to retry the experiment anytime soon. So I do not directly have evidence of repeatability. === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.nethelp
