This configuration is not supported"(tm). Posting the precise symptoms of the failure on -hackers is probably your best change for an answer; if anyone is doing this, it's there. Is this just to upgrade? If so, then download the CDROM image, burn a disc, and boot off it and select the upgrade option, instead. Building is only really expecte to work RELEASE to next RELEASE or RELEASE to STABLE, not RELEASE to *next* STABLE. It it works, great, but it's not a project goal. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
