I upgraded to source of RELENG_6_0 while I fetched in the ports of current release by use of '*default tag=. I followed following steps after downloading above with CVSUP: (Please pardon me , I am from windows background for my language I backed up my kernel, #cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf #cp GENERIC GENERIC1.BAK next>> #cd /usr/ports #make installworld #make buildworld #make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC #make install kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC Now restarted #shutdown -r now and logged in in single user mode.

I can not load my backed up kernel also. Or may be that since I am a newbie, I am not not following the correct procedure. Do I have to reinstall the system now? I started this upgrade process because my delay pools were not working on squid in freeBSD 5.4. Thanks and regards. #FreeBSd >How-To-Repeat: Can's say please. >Fix: Can not say please. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
