I would claim that if you forgot to run MAKEDEV you haven't actually upgraded the system completely :-) > Is there any kind of script that one can run > to make sure there are not any other nasty omitions? The official upgrade procedure is documented in the handbook, and includes running the mergemaster tool, which will update /etc and /dev/MAKEDEV, and take care of regenerating generated files as needed. > I recently upgraded 3 more systems to 4.5 and it > definitely pays to go to single-user mode as the documentation > says. Single-user has no bearing on the problem, although it's still a good idea for other reasons.
