Hi. I'm trying to upgrade my system from 3.4-stable to 4.x-stable, and am having problems getting a 4.x kernel operating.
The handbook tells me to;
If you have just upgraded to a newer version of 4.X or higher (ie from 3.X to 4-STABLE, or even from 4-STABLE to a later version of 4-STABLE), make sure you have built the world, and then run the following commands:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
Unfortunately I get this error message;
make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop
Can anyone tell me why?
I've followed the handbook, ofcourse, and that lead me to downloaded the sources via cvsup, using the following cvsup file;
--BEGIN contents /etc/cvsupfile
*default host=cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org
*default basftpmaile=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default tag=FreeBSD-STABLE
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
*default tag=.
ports-all
doc-all
--END contents /etc/cvsupfile
this resulted in the following file:
-rwxr----- 1 root wheel 211094016 Feb 18 2000 /usr/src.tar
I then proceeded with
/usr/src # rm -Rf *
/usr # tar xf src.tar
which created me a new /usr/src tree.
/usr/src # make world; fastboot
went OK aswell.
The output of make world was saved (as advised in handbook), and is available at request due to largeness (5M+ text :)
