Hallo all! I am very new to FreeBSD. I installed freebsd 5.4 I upgraded to source of RELENG_6_0 while I fetched in the ports of current release by use of '*default tag=. I followed following steps after downloading above with CVSUP: (Please pardon me , I am from windows background for my language I backed up my kernel, #cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf #cp GENERIC GENERIC1.BAK next>> #cd /usr/ports #make installworld #make buildworld #make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC #make install kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC Now restarted #shutdown -r now and logged in in single user mode. Now the display was *** Displaying difference of difference between ./etc/master.password & installed version ---/etc/master.passwd Thu MAr 23 13:46:04 2006 +++./etc/master.passwd Mon Jun 6 20:19:56:2006 @@-1,6 +1,6@@ (I am not writing here all the output of differences) Do you wish to delete what is left of /var/tmp/temproot? My action: I opted for no. Message: You installed a new master.passwd file so make sure you run '/usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p/etc/master.passwd' to rebuild your password files. Would you like to run it now y/n My action: I opeted 'y" Message: Running /usr/sbin/pwd/pwd_mkdb -p/etc/master.passwd ***comparing make variables ***Form /etc/make.con *** Form /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf PERL_VER=5.6.6 *No example variable with this name PERL_VERSION=5.6.6 *No example variable with this name cathy@alfa# (After this I rebooted and I can not login now) ---------------------------- Now my question: What is the remedy available to me now? I can not load my backed up kernel also. Or may be that since I am a newbie, I am not not following the correct procedure. Do I have to reinstall the system now? I started this upgrade process because my delay pools were not working on squid in freeBSD 5.4. Thanks and regards. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
