A while back I installed 4.0-RELEASE and sorta forgot about the box for a while. 2. yesterday I cvsup'd using RELENG_4_1_1_RELEASE 3. started a make buildworld 3. read the post "4.0-RELEASE -> 4.5-STABLE now possible..." 4. killed the make buildworld 5. cvsup'd using RELENG_4 6. make buildworld 7. make buildkernel KERNCONF=whatever 8. make installworld KERNCONF=whatever 9. make installworld 10. gasped in horror as the make installworld died. Also, while attempting to recover from this I noticed that almost everything in /bin had lost it's ABI type and had to be re-brandelf'd. Dunno what was up with that... Regardless, I've decided to just nuke /usr/obj and /usr/src and have another go at it. Hopefully my userland isn't too hosed to get thru it this time. > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2002 at 12:07:14PM -0500, Daniel Frazier wrote: > >>Greetz all, >> >>I finally decided to bring this old box I had sitting around up to >>STABLE and everything went fine up to the make buildworld step.
