--=-6GeHTfOLdeA3c6LbfYXH Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Everyone, I just thought of upgrading from FreeBSD 6 BETA5 to 6-STABLE so I followed the http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html manual page. I reached to a point where I had to reboot into single user mode to continue with make installworld and mergemaster but I wasn't able to boot into single user mode. The machine was hanging saying: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a I tried and tried and kept on trying with no luck, I disable some modules during kernel bootup and unset some variables but no luck! Anyhow, one of the guys on IRC told me to build a GENERIC kernel to at least boot so I built it but it panicked! My only way to boot my system now is going to the loader prompt and boot /boot/kernel.old/kernel No here comes my question, by booting this way, can I still create a new GENERIC kernel in order to upgrade my system? I would really appreciate your advice --=-6GeHTfOLdeA3c6LbfYXH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDiF4W9KbelRb+qmwRAt7zAJ9lMwkh3xcEn5z9NPOozwq2C8HLagCgxbTk RFPY0tloFJkmTGtQWyR2UhI= =tNYT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-6GeHTfOLdeA3c6LbfYXH--
