I cvsupped the latest RELENG_5 sources and did make buildworld. Then I
built and installed the kernel using
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=PACO
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=PACO
Then I rebooted. So far so good. This is all normal. However, after I
reboot and run 'uname -a' I see:
FreeBSD www.provisio.net 5.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #0: Sat Mar
19 01:28:39 EST 2005 root@www.provisio.net:/usr/obj/data/src/sys/PACO
i386
sysctl agrees with uname:
kern.ostype: FreeBSD
kern.osrelease: 5.3-RELEASE-p5
kern.osrevision: 199506
kern.version: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #0: Sat Mar 19 01:28:39 EST 2005
root@www.provisio.net:/usr/obj/data/src/sys/PACO
That's my old kernel that I was trying to replace. I run 'sysctl
kern.bootfile' and it says '/boot/kernel/kernel' so I'm a little
confused.
By all indications, the file that's currently in /boot/kernel/kernel is
5.4-STABLE. I can run 'strings' on /boot/kernel/kernel and see this near
the bottom:
FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Thu Apr 21 00:04:21 EDT 2005
root@www.provisio.net:/usr/obj/data/src/sys/PACO
FreeBSD
5.4-STABLE
PACO
It sure looks like I booted my old kernel somehow, but I can't figure out
how. It seems unlikely that I somehow installed from a stale build tree
because I newfs'd /usr/obj before building anything.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Paco
p.s. the system is in a colo facility 2200 miles from my current location.
I can't go to the console and watch it boot. I've done remote upgrades
from source in the past without trouble.
