"Make upgrade." Which, of course, doesn't work. It breaks in the elf build of libmytinfo. what I'm hearing is that there is no way to upgrade from 2.2.8 to 3.2 (-RELEASE or -STABLE) by using "make world." So, exactly how can I upgrade to (or even install) 3.2 when I have the continuing problem described earlier (see below)? I've just tried installing 3.2-RELEASE on my computer using boot floppies and installing from a DOS partition. When booting the kernel on the boot floppy, the hardware probe doesn't find my primary controller (wdc0), and, as a consequence, doesn't find my hard drives, either. I've looked at the IRQ and the port addresses; they shouldn't be a problem (I've had 2.2.8-RELEASE running on the same machine without problems; the default IRQ and port for wdc0 are the same for both versions). I've got no device conflicts either. Could it be a problem with the new bootstrap procedure? or maybe the parallel port bus? Originally, I had my hard drives' geometry set by the user in the BIOS. I then changed it to autodetect the geometry. I tried booting the BSD boot floppy again, and it found wdc0 on the probe. I set up BSD as I normally do, then when I rebooted, the probe didn't find wdc0! (and, hence, the kernel panicked because it couldn't find my root partition). I tried using the install boot floppy again and ran into the same problem (couldn't find wdc0). Here's how my machine is set up: Intel 430 TX chipset w/ Pentium 200 MMX CPU; two hard drives (both on primary controller); one CD-ROM drive as master on secondary controller. I have multiple operating systems installed (NT, Win95, Linux, BSD, DOS); I had no problems running 2.2.8 with this configuration. I tried upgrading from 2.2.8 with 3.2 binaries, but ran into the same problems (couldn't mount root because of controller problems.) Any ideas please? Andrew J.
