Hello All =20 I have an issue with freebsd-update, I will back track a few steps to give you some background as to what I was doing prior to using freebsd-update. =20 I have been trying to get half-life dedicated server working on one of my machines, seemed to install ok from games/linux-steam but on running it would crash then hang the machine. =20 After a bit of digging about it was suggested that I needed to modify the kernel to have the CPU_ENABLE_SSE option it seemed to go through # make buildkernel KERNCONF=3DMYKERNEL ok but then went belly up make installkernel KERNCONF=3DMYKERNEL failed. I re-read the man page, and tried again today, for it to fail at the buildkernel stage saying CPU_ENABLE_SSE was not an valid option. So I thought ok I will just rebuild the generic kernel using the above steps. That worked fine, system rebooted and from what I can tell works as it should. Now on to the issue, doing freebsd-update fetch works ok, but the inital run of the freebsd-update install complained about lack of disk space, looking in to /boot there was a 230mb folder called GENERIC, I checked my other two machines and this was not present of either, so I moved the folder out of /boot and re-ran freebsd-update install now it complains that /boot/GENERIC is missing. I`ll freely confess to not knowing much about this kind of thing but to me it looks like freebsd-update thinks my kernel is /boot/GENERIC and not /boot/KERNEL =20 Anyone know what I have done wrong and how to fix this ? if anyone out there knows how to get HLDS working that would be a great help as well eris# uname -a FreeBSD eris.galaxy.lan.lcl 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Fri Apr 2 16:14:18 BST 2010 graeme@eris.galaxy.lan.lcl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ERISGEN amd64 eris# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/mirror/gm0s1a 496M 270M 186M 59% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev =20 Regards Graeme =20
