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.
