Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have fixed my problem and am now running the 3.4-Stable. I would like to still upgrade to 4.0-Release, can someone give me a more descriptive outline of what I need to do to go from 3.4-Stable to 4.0-Stable? Since I tried following the UPGRADING file in the /usr/src and horribly failed... I would like a little help... Thanks Michael Mercer mmercer@ipass.net well people, I never fail to screw things up bad... alright, I followed the instructions below, taken from the UPGRADING file in /usr/src I got all the way to 'config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' and everything just died. after playing with a few things, me and my infinite wisdom (should I say finite) decided to just installworld first then build a kernel before I reboot.. well this failed horribly and now nothing works... I always get signal 12 when try to run make . I have been following FreeBSD since 2.1.6 and have upgraded using cvsup and make world (using the UPGRADING file) everytime a new release is out... However this time, I can not figure out how to fix my screw up. Need help... I have not rebooted my pc since I know nothing will come up if I do, so what can I do to fix things, at this point I do not care what release I go to... 4.0 or 3.4 Can I just overwrite the installed files somehow? using sysinstall? whatever... HELP me please! later Michael mmercer@ipass.net COMMON ITEMS: To build a kernel ----------------- Update config, genassym and go: cd src/usr.bin/genassym make depend all install clean cd ../../usr.sbin/config make depend all install clean cd ../../sys/i386/conf config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make depend && make make install To rebuild disk /dev entries ---------------------------- MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before starting the following: For N in the list of disks MAKEDEV N # eg ad0 for M in the list of slices MAKEDEV NsMa # eg ad0s1a To rebuild everything --------------------- make world Except when it doesn't work.
