System: Dell 600sc Currently running: 8.2-RELEASE In attempting to update this system to 8-STABLE I did what I usually do to update a system (see below). make buildworld completes successfully, but make buildkernel does not. I usually create a custom kernel, but for this system I went with GENERIC as is. The error message is: /usr/src/sys/kern/init_sysent.c:568: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct posix_fadvise_args' /usr/src/sys/kern/init_sysent.c:568: error: 'posix_fadvise' undeclared here (not in a function) *** Error code 1 I found this pertaining to posix_fadvise in /usr/src/UPDATING: 20120106: A new VOP_ADVISE() was added to support posix_fadvise(2). All filesystem modules must be recompiled. Not sure what 'filesystem modules' is or referring to here. Also, am I not already recompiling 'All filesystem modules' during make buildworld? What I did (and usually do): csup -L 2 /root/stable-supfile rm -rf /etc.old cp -Rp /etc /etc.old adjkerntz -i cd /usr/obj chflags -R noschg * rm -rf * cd /usr/src /usr/bin/time -h make buildworld || exit build world finishes successfully. Then: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC This fails with error: /usr/src/sys/kern/init_sysent.c:568: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct posix_fadvise_args' /usr/src/sys/kern/init_sysent.c:568: error: 'posix_fadvise' undeclared here (not in a function) *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. Following attempts: Attempt 2: I tried using 'make buildkernel' (without specifying KERNCONF) make buildkernel fails with same error. Attempt 3: Started from the beginning (same process as above) with new csup (sources) -- make buildkernel still failed with same error. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. In way over my head here. I have all logs from all attempts of the above if needed. Thanks, Rob Clark <rpclark@tds.net>
