next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
As of r277990, the powerpc64 kernel in 11-CURRENT is now a different executable format (PIE). If you update past this revision, you *must* make sure that you update loader(8) (through updating world) *before* you reboot with a new kernel. If you do not this, your machine will not boot (although you should be able to recover by booting kernel.old from the loader prompt). -Nathan
