I just installed FreeBSD 5.0 from cd on a 486 and I'm trying to update it to 5.3 which is on my better computer. Following the handbook, I used NFS to mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from the new machine to the old one. Then I made buildworld and buildkernel on the new machine with no problems. Then I went to single-user mode on the old machine (NFS mounts still valid) and tried to make installworld. Make immediately crashed, apparently calling a bad system call. I tried using the make that was created in /usr/obj but it did exactly the same thing. I was advised by someone to build everything like the following: make -D NO_CPU_CFLAGS=true -D NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS=true -j 4 buildworld make -D NO_CPU_CFLAGS=true -D NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS=true -j 4 buildkernel KERNCONF=GATEWAY but still the same issue. I don't think it's a problem with what architecture it's building for anyway. I'm desperate for help. I can't access the internet on my own computer until I get this machine running and it's way too slow to compile a kernel itself. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
