On almost every CURRENT that has been updated according to UPDATING entry 2017-05-23 regarding ino64, the recommended update process ends up in a desaster or, if the old environemnt/kernel is intact, itr doesn't work. Procedure: make -jX buildworld buildkernel [successful] make installkernel [successful] reboot Booting single user mode as recommended withnthe newly installed kernel BUMMER! When it comes to the point to type in the full path of /bin/sh, /bin/sh immediately fails with SIGNAL 12 In this case, I can boot without problems the old kernel and the system works again. But, depending on the entry revision from which I started the 22nd, or 23rd of May ino64-deal, there is a more harsh failure! According to the above recommendation of updating, BUMMER! doesn't occur at that point and the shell /bin/sh starts as expected. Performing mergemaster -Fp also performs well without any questions or installations so far, but then make installworld BUMMER! again and this time with fatal consequences! The installation fails in libexec/rtld-elf or something like that in the source/object tree after copying libexec/ld-elf.so.1. I see /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 successfully copied with the security copy marked with appendix .old being of a conclusive date and time. The installworld bails out, leaves the tree in a mixture of old and new binaries and now, thanks, the whole system ist wrecked. When trying to reboot such a half-ready installation in single user mode, I can't even get an shell enymore. How can I fix this emergency case with the tools aboard? Since there is no compiler or build infrastructure any more on the USB bootimage, I can not simply installworld and installkernel - the boot image is useless - on this list I had such a discussion in March. For short: I have the intact and complete /usr/obj tree and I think it would be a great deal to be able to simply boot via USB memstick and perform installworld with propper settings of DESTDIR= and sibblings. Yes, now what is to do ... :-( Help appreciated and thanks in advance for those reading so far. O
