I was upgrading from 4.10-STABLE to 5.4-STABLE, following the instructions in the freebsd handbook and something went wrong. I used CVSup to update my sources. I built the world and kernel as follows: cd /usr/src make buildworld && make buildkernel I am using the GENERIC config. I had to copy /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints to /boot/device.hints. Before the above builds worked properly. I installed the kernel, and rebooted the system. It booted (mostly) ok, sudo did not work properly, so I had to login as root. I did mergemaster -p. I had to add the new proxy user and group for pf. After this, I did: cd /usr/src/ make installworld during the process, it died in: /usr/src/bin/test with Signal 12. No commands worked after this point, All I received was Signal 12. I cannot boot into single user mode, I receive a Signal 12 from any shell I try to use. I understand a Signal 12 is a non-existant system call. The half installworld probably caused this. How can I recover from this? Thanks.
