>Release:        FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE i386
>Organization:
IN-Berlin e.V.
>Environment:
4.0-RELEASE upgrading to -stable

>Description:

Upgraded 4.0-RELEASE system with the following commands:

make update (runs cvsup)
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
	(this installs the kernel es /GENERIC !)
shutdown	(single user mode)
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot

On reboot the system paniced because the modules in
/modules have been updated but the loaded kernel /kernel
is still 4.0-R and thus incompatible with the new modules.
(To be exact the kernel crashed after loading the linux
compatibility).


>How-To-Repeat:

Upgrade 4.0-R system to 4.x stable, have no customized
kernel but some kernel module activated on boot.


>Fix:
	
Use a customized kernel and before reboot do

	cd /sys/i386/conf
	config YOURKERNELNAME
	cd ../../compile/YOURKERNELNAME
	make depend all install

This way you're sure to have a fresh kernel in sync with
the installed modules.
