Hi, I have tried to upgrade my laptop system from 7.2-RELEASE to 8.0-RC1 using the freebsd-update method. I have ran the following commands : # freebsd-update -r 8.0-RC1 upgrade # freebsd-update install # nextboot -k GENERIC # shutdown -r now # freebsd-update install # portmaster -adf Then portmaster program does not recognize by the system. # rehash Does not have effect. Then I have rebooted the machine one more time and I have select the boot option 6 and type boot GENERIC Now the system don't want to boot correctly because it can't do fsck_ufs on /dev/ad0s1a I have download and burn the livefs 8.0-RC1 iso and use the fixit part. fsck_ufs /dev/ad0s1a do the steps correctly then I tried to boot on my GENERIC patched local kernel (using boot option 6 like described above) but I always got the same error. I have noticed that I have got these messages before the boot menu Boot: syntax error on file /boot/device.hints Boot: syntax error on file /boot/loader.conf Also, I tried this : (escape to loader prompt) * *# boot -s >> OK - It boot on 7.2 kernel # adjkerntz -i >> OK # swapon -a >> swapon: not found # fsck -p >> fsck: exec fsck_ufs for /dev/ad0s1a in /sbin:/usr/sbin: no such file or directory # mount -u / >> OK # mount -va >> OK If I rebooted like this method (escape to loader prompt) # boot GENERIC It boot on 8.0-RC1 kernel, but the only command that doesn't passed is # swapon -a >> swapon: not found After the command : # fsck -p I can access to the login prompt. But when I tried to login with root or another user, I got the following error : login: login: could not determine audit condition Can you help me to repair the errors ? Thanks for your help. Alexandre
