Help!!! X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Zachary Huang List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 06:26:19 -0000 OK, my old questions might be too simple and I did not get much help from here. My old system was 4.2 and I was trying to upgrade to 4.10. (hardware: K2-6 350 MHz with 384 meg and 20 gig) here is what I managed to do: 1). cvsup to RELENG_4_10 here is the supfile *default host=ftp5.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/home/ncvs *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all ports-all which seemed to be successful (did not see the final message because too many spams filling on my screen, but it was going for a good 30 min -- could it have stopped in the middle?) -- how do I stop the rejected spams showing on the console? very annoying. 2). then I proceeded to follow the book: make buildworld (config MYKERNEL --this was not in the book)**this should not mess things up? make buildkernel KERNEL=MYkernel make installkernel KERNEL=MYkernel reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster reboot no error messages doing all the above steps. 3). I noticed that after reboot the machine was still showing: cyber# dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

So I recompiled the kernel by doing: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf /usr/sbin/config Mykernel /cd ../../compile/Mykernel make depend make make install 5). after reboot, I still see the same "4.2. RELEASE! 6). indeed. all the files in /usr/src seems to be the same as before updating... -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4735 Sep 5 1999 COPYRIGHT drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 11 2001 CVS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 7257 Nov 7 2000 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24600 Nov 11 2000 Makefile.inc1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9761 Aug 27 1999 Makefile.upgrade -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2642 Oct 27 2000 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 30679 Nov 16 2000 UPDATING drwxr-xr-x 32 root wheel 512 Sep 11 2001 bin drwxr-xr-x 40 root wheel 1024 Sep 11 2001 contrib drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 512 Dec 19 05:05 crypto drwxr-xr-x 14 root wheel 1536 Sep 11 2001 etc drwxr-xr-x 41 root wheel 1024 Sep 11 2001 games drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 512 Sep 11 2001 gnu drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 1536 Sep 11 2001 include drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 512 Dec 19 05:05 kerberos5 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Dec 19 05:05 kerberosIV drwxr-xr-x 55 root wheel 1024 Sep 11 2001 lib drwxr-xr-x 33 root wheel 1024 Sep 11 2001 libexec drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Sep 11 2001 release drwxr-xr-x 74 root wheel 1536 Sep 11 2001 sbin drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 Dec 19 05:05 secure drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Sep 11 2001 share drwxr-xr-x 46 root wheel 1024 Sep 11 2001 sys drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Sep 11 2001 tools drwxr-xr-x 211 root wheel 3584 Sep 11 2001 usr.bin drwxr-xr-x 153 root wheel 3072 Sep 11 2001 usr.sbin 7). Can someone here tell me what I did wrong? I was not sure if cvsup grabbed the right source or not, but usually when I was playing the tag before, it would give me error messages if the tag was not correct. Thanks so much and happy holidays!
