Hey all. I'm trying to upgrade a system from RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE to
RELENG_5_0_0_RELEASE. And I'm having a little trouble.
I cvsupped the whole source, port, and docs tree to the
RELENG_5_0_0_RELEASE tag. That seemed to go well.
Next, I created a new kernel config file named LEBLANC in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ from the new GENERIC config file, and copied
the GENERIC.hints file to /boot/device.hints.
Next,
chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr
rm -rf /usr/obj/usr
cd /usr/src
make cleandir
make cleandir
cd /usr/src/usr/sbin/mergemaster
./mergemaster -p (no major changes were required)
make -j 4 buildworld seems to have gone fine
make buildkernel seems to have gone fine
reboot to single user mode (using 'reboot now' or the method
in section 21.4.4 fo the handbook)
verify everything is mounted seems to have gone fine
cd /usr/src seems to have gone fine
make installkernel seems to have gone fine (but see below)
make installworld crashed.
This is the message:
Checking to see if your booted kernel is fresh enough..
/usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh/sh -c 'echo "Testing installed kernel for new sigaction(2) syscall"'

The build was done once yesterday and twice today, and obviously the
kernel never installed.

I don't know what some of this is, but the kernel directories seem to
have been installed here.
I hope I included enough info for someone to see what I did wrong. If
not, just let me know.
The funny thing is that this machine still boots to the 4.6.2 kernel
as if nothing ever happened. Kind of a relief, actually.
Any ideas?
TIA
Lou
