/usr/src/UPDATING says:
To build a kernel
-----------------
If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. It is the most
failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
make kernel-toolchain
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
But at the very end of this procedure, I get:
[...]
===> zlib (install)
install -T release -o root -g wheel -m 555 zlib.ko /boot/kernel/
install -T debug -o root -g wheel -m 555 zlib.ko.debug
/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/
kldxref /boot/kernel
kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in file atacard.ko
kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in file atp.ko
kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in file atp.ko
[...etc...]
Should I have started with "make buildworld," or would that have
bombed out even worse? Do I reboot and "make buildworld"? Or do
I "make buildworld" now, while still running 10.4? -- George
