On yet another FreeBSD (4.2), I first did a sysinstall to upgrade to 5.10, it messed up everything because the source (/usr/src) did not match all the config files, so sendmail complains a lot and cannot ssh or telnet to the system. I then did a cvsup (without specify which release, simply "cvs") successfully (took like 10 hrs), then today I tried to cd /usr/src make buildworld after about 8 min, it stopped with the following error: cc -O -pipe -DSHELL -I .I/usr/src/bin/sh -Wall -Wfont (? cannot see my own writing) -c /usr/src/bin/sh /usr/src/bin/sh/mknodes.c:101. initializer element is not constant ***error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/bin/sh *** error code 1 stop in /usr/src. now I am sort of stuck. I made a new kernel the day before the sysinstall, but now I cannot even try compile a new kernel because it compains the config file is newer than what it wants. is my system totally messed up? right now apache still works, but I can telnet or ssh out but to the host.... do not mess upgrades before Christmas, as it gets you in bad mood..:( :(
