Hi list. During the last 10 days or so, I have been unable to update any of my machines using the cvsup and make buildworld procedure. The machines are PII, dual Celeron, dual PIII and a few AMD's, all high quality machines with plenty of ram, and they all fail. Some output from my last attempt. Make buildworld is succesfull, but only a few seconds into make installworld I get this: ===> bin/rmail install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 rmail /bin install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 rmail.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8 ===> games ===> games/adventure install -c -s -o root -g games -m 550 adventure /usr/games/hide (cd /usr/games; ln -fs dm adventure; chown -h root:wheel adventure) chown: wheel: illegal group name *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/games/adventure. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/games. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. <root@rocky /usr/src> Message from syslogd@rocky at Thu Aug 29 16:45:00 2002 ... rocky Aug 29 16:45:00atrun[: cannot read /var/at/jobs/ Here it complains about the wheel group, but naturally the wheel group exists, so what the error message says cant really be whats causing it to fail. As you can see, it immediatly afterwards starts to report some weird errors, such as cant read /var/at/jobs, followed by malloc failures and similar. The only way to recover the machine from this state is to restore from backups, rebooting the machine or trying to continue using it will leave you with a severely crippled system. Most processes fail with segfault or memory allocation errors. Ive tried cvsup with tag=RELENG_4, tag=RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE and tag=RELENG_4_6_1_RELEASE. Ive tried different cvsup servers and I have done make clean, and even deleted /usr/src and /usr/obj. Same result in all cases. uname -a: FreeBSD rocky.<domain> 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1: Mon Aug 19 21:05:16 GMT 2002 root@rocky.<domain>:/usr/src/sys/compile/ROCKY i386 Is the source tree broken right now, or am I doing something wrong? -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
