I've got a production ("toy") machine that mostly provides shell accounts,
serves two web sites, and runs a MUD.
Since the MUD players are a fickle lot, I decided to try to upgrade from
2.2.7 to 3.0 without going into single-user mode.
I really can't remember the exact steps I took now, other than trying to run
the upgrade from sysinstall, and also manually backing up /etc and
installing the /bin distribution.
When I try to buildworld it fails at various places with .tmp files missing.
When I try to recompile the kernel, it makes it all the way to the end with
"symorder kernel: no such file or directory". I've also cvsup'ed the current
sources with the same result.
I'm vague on the exact errors, since the last time I tried compiling was
last night. I can re-compile and get more detailed information if needed,
though.
Any suggestions for getting a clean compile? If I have to shutdown to
single-user, my users will just have to live with it, but I'd rather be
fairly certain that whatever steps I take will actually solve the problem
rather then leaving the system in its current state.
Thanks!
P.S. (Yup, trying to save a few minutes has added many hours {so far} to
getting this working :).
