I'm exactly using : freebsd-update -r 8.1-RELEASE upgrade I'm sticking the manual, but using a custom kernel. At this stage this should change nothing. # uname -a [root@backup] FreeBSD backup.cyanide-studio.com 8.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 #3: Mon Dec 7 14:44:37 CET 2009 root@backup.cyanide-studio.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GEOMKERNEL amd64 I installed the 8.0-RELEASE from CDs, as you can see I updated to patchlevel 1 without trouble. The only difference from other systems may be these geom drivers.
