Did you replace the generic kernel from 9.1-RELEASE with something you compiled yourself? If so, you may well have caused freebsd-update to ignore any modifications to the kernel. You can fix that by re-compiling a kernel using the 9.2-RELEASE sources and basically the same kernel configuration as for 9.1 (you will need to check for 9.2 related differences to the configuration, but these are likely to be pretty minor or not needed at all.) If you aren't using a customized kernel, then has the kernel in the standard location on your system actually been updated? You can tell if it's a 9.2 kernel by running strings(1) against the kernel binary, like s= o: # strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep RELEASE If that's clearly a 9.2 kernel, then are you actually booting up from a different kernel somewhere else on your system? First of all, are there any other copies of FreeBSD kernels around anywhere -- on memsticks, or on split mirrors perhaps? You may need to fiddle with the bios settings or interrupt the boot sequence and type things directly at the loader if so. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
