I thought that a stable commit is tested first by quality-assurance people (?). Hm, however i like to see whatīs going on with freebsd so i like to update the sources nearly daily -) It is a motivation to me if i am developing my litte progs. BD> of encountering breakage.

BD> Second, not keeping a copy of a working kernel on your root partition is BD> asking for trouble. I had a working kernel, but the system was not working anymore after build world. When the trouble begans, i had bsd 4.1.1, updated the sources to the latest cvs, make world (works), i4b patch .. tried to compile the kernel.. after the i4b patch.. BANG -) The old 4.1.1 kernel was alyways available but i had no access to anything anymore after rebooting. Iīve got access denied, the only thing i could do is to log in, thatīs all. Ok iīm sorry for my reaction, it was my first real failure of a very important server and i have never expected this on a stable-branch. Now i know whatīs up and i had a chance to understand why sometimes something is wrong. I will try to get it up and running on my developer server first, before updating a netserver and i have learned to write a backup-script with all neccessary content i need for the next failure *gggg. Another person said to build a GENERIC kernel FIRST, a very good idea. So i will make a GENERIC kernel first after make world, then i try to get my configuration up and running. Thanks to all the people for helping me! -- Best regards, Boris mailto:koester@x-itec.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
