I managed to recover and am running 7-CURRENT now. The morale of the story is 1.disable fancy drivers and scripts for binary compatibilites before proceeding 2. Prepare a backup 3. READ UPDATING 4. use unload all when building and after rebooting with the new kernel. Use GENERIC at first, then your kernel. Backup 2-3 good kernels. 5. recompile ports with the new system. 6. Don't diddle with the upgrade process - let it run Have a good one! dvv@online.bg wrote: > Did as advised and reached to full booting system, which complained > that no dump devices were found, even when I had specified one in > rc.conf. > Mergemaster grunts "cannot cd to /usr/src/etc and install files to > temproot", when booting in single mode and trying to update the files. > cap_mkdb quits on "-l" option passed by another program. > I saw > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/077661.html > and will fight it these days. > Finally I tried upgrading from cd and got with kernel panic at the > end.
