Ernst" To: current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 2.2.7-->current shortcut *boom* Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 :).
