I upgraded because -stable doesn't support SMP + fork with shared memory. I want to upgrade from a pre-signal changes -current to -current (I'm having problems with a pnic card getting corrupted mbufs and I want to see if Bill Paul's new driver works better), and I have a simple question: I know that I need to build the tools for config, and build a new kernel, and reboot it before doing a make world. My question is, after booting the new kernel, do I run MAKEDEV immediately, or do I run make world before runnning MAKEDEV? Would it be prudent to disable softupdates until after I'm done upgrading? Would it be simpler to install from the latest -current snap? Thanks, Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
