Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to upgrade a 3.4 Release box to the latest Release tree, but running into a few problems, I'm betting someone here can help me! :) From what I've found searching the mailing list archives and web pages,etc this appears to be the way to do things: I cvsup'd the the latest Release and all went well (no complaints), here's my supfile: *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all cvs-crypto Nothing too strange there so I'm assuming that's ok. I then remove the /usr/obj directory do the 'make buildworld' which churns for a while (Only a P166) All seems fine with the build, now here is where I run into some issues. I've found some conflicting infomation as to what the next step is. One source says that I should recompile my kernel, reboot into single user and do a 'make installworld'. Makes sense but I can't recompile my kernel, I get errors like: config GENERIC config: line 20: Unknown machine type config: line 20: syntax error config: line 21: syntax error config: line 22: syntax error ... Specify machine type, e.g. ``machine vax'' Etc,etc,etc,etc... It doesn't know ANY x86 CPU, funny enough it doesn't complain if I stick in 'machine vax'. Now if I do the 'make buildworld' then drop directly to single users and attempt the 'make installworld' it'll go for a bit and then finally error out with: install-info --quiet --defsection="Programming & development tools." --defentry="* libcom_err: (com_err). A Common Error Description Library for UNIX." com_err.info /usr/share/info/dir install-info: unrecognized option `--defsection=Programming & development tools.' Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Not quite sure what to check, I've done this probably 10 times now and it seems to do the same thing each time... Any hints?
