Anywho ..i tried to CVSUP to the latest stable release , seems the CVSUP went well ...ANYWHO my problem after all was said and done was that i cant do a "ps -ax" or "w" or "top" this is the procedure i did with no good results: make a backup of etc cp -Rp /etc /etc.old in a prebuild world environment # /usr/sbin/mergemaster -p -v # cd /usr/obj # chflags -R noschg * # rm -rf * Compile the sources: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld <-- this failed the first time something to do with sendmail ..so i removed freebsd.mc * from the /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse file so it would ignore sendmail then did a "cleandir" and then redid CVSUP and then redid make buildworld Compile and install the new kernel: # cd /usr/src # make buildkernel KERNCONF=LOQTIS-SMP-1 <-- this failed to saying it couldnt make LOQTIS-SMP-1 although it said it made the GENERIC kern. go figure At this point i didnt know what to do ...so i just continued i rebooted into single user mode and ran: #make installworld <-- no errors #/usr/sbin/mergemaster -v <-- from what i understand if you select "d" it deletes the temporary file, if you select "i" it installes the new version of the file. what i did was any file that I knew to be modified by me i did a "d" to keep my original file and the rest that i knew wasnt modified by me ...i chose "i" to install the new version. then I did # cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall # make clean # make all install when i rebooted i ran into the problem of not being able to do a "ps -ax" or a "w" ... i know this means that the make buildworld didnt work or at least a part of it didnt work right. Please ..any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ..as a note i did this same procedure on another non-production FBSD 4.5 box with no issues. also ..i have tape backup of the whole system so if all else fails i can go back ..but id rather not concidering the recent expoits found in certain ports im running.Figures huh... Thank you Brent
