https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D242457 Bug ID: 242457 Summary: freebsd-update from 12.0-R to 12.1-R borked base source, rendering system unable to build kernel Product: Base System Version: 12.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: sblachmann@gmail.com A few weeks ago I downloaded the DVD-ISO of 12.0-Release, as it then was sh= own as the most current release on the "Download FreeBSD" page. I installed it, with base source and ports tree installation options checke= d. To make sure that security patches are applied, I recently ran freebsd-upda= te according to Handbook Section 23.2 (freebsd-update fetch+install). freebsd-update then warned me that there is a custom kernel active, prevent= ing full update. Iirc I answered "no" to some prompt "Do you want to update anyway?" and rebuilt+installed GENERIC. Then, after finishing the security updates, freebsd-update warned me about 12.0-R lifetime expiring very soon and advised to update to 12.1. So, following the handbook instructions, I ran "freebsd-update -r 12.1-RELE= ASE upgrade", with GENERIC kernel active. This was successful insofar that the system rebooted into 12.1 smoothly. However, when I attempt to rebuild kernel (no matter whether custom or GENERIC), the system aborted build, complaining about some missing header f= ile (apparently belonging to the em driver, filename was something like i_if_em= .h). I did not touch anything in /usr/src/... except adding my personally modifi= ed kernel configuration file. Thus my gut feeling told me that freebsd-update botched something in the sources, rendering the upgraded system unable to build kernel. So I decided to do fresh install from 12.1 USB image, and the resulting sys= tem was able to build kernel. Did I do something wrong, or is it a freebsd-update bug? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
