Hi guys,
Thanks all who helped me even though my question was really stupid (now in
retrospect). I was able to do the compile of the aout to elf upgrade but am
facing a strange problem.
To recap, I had a 2.2.7-STABLE and was upgrading to a 3.2-STABLE. I did a
cvsup and got all the new source.
Then I did a
% make aout-to-elf-build # all went okay
% make aout-to-elf-install # error as below
this gave error when it wanted to do a mv /kernel /kernel.old and
I pressed RETURN. It terminated with error since the kernel was
chflaged. So i unlocked the kernel and did a % make aout-to-elf-install
again. This time, it installed fully ( I guess, for I was not watching) but
it rebooted itself (so I guess it went okay).
The problem now is that at login prompt I am trying the root login and the
passwd seems to have changed!!! I tried a userid/passwd other than root
too. None works. I am not able to log in or look at the
passwd file. At boot time just before the first login: prompt I do see some
missing /usr/.../ld.so ?? That is all.
I tried to boot from 2.2.7 CD and do a fixit, but it is not helping since I
guess I have elf binaries on the HD now.
Does anyone know what I can do without reinstalling on the current HDs,
since I have some files I don't want to lose. Did anyone else face this
problem of passwd being changed?? Or is the login program messed up?
I have a Pentium 200 II MMX (Gateway), had the 2.2.7 running all just too
fine for 3-4 months.
Thanks in advance for your patience. (CC me on the reply)
