Hello David, Thanks for getting back with the results. This points to the fatc that the instructions in UPDATING should updated. The method is almost what you did, only a tad more efficient: - make buildworld - make buildkernel KERNCONF=you_know_what - cp GENERIC.hints to device.hints or create your own if you need (because you have ISA devices eg) - make installkernel KERNCONF=you_know_what - reboot in single user (do the bootblocks if needed) (At this point you are running on the -CURRENT kernel but with the old userland: be aware of this because things like ipfw will now stop working until you are back in sync!) - mergemaster -p - make -k installworld (this will install as much of the new userland as possible, but will proceed in spite of errors.) - rm -rf /usr/include/* - make installworld (this now should go through without problems, you are now back in sync, your /usr/include is also repopulated with the new headers) - mergemaster (with the new mergemaster script) - reboot for the changes to take effect. Done. Hope this helps. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
