I've used the 6.0 to 6.1/6.1 to 6.2 upgrade scripts on several i386
machines (from here:
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2006-11-26-freebsd-6.1-to-6.2-binary-upgrade.html)
and it has worked flawlessly- and so easy!
Today I updated a new amd64 server from 6.1 to 6.2 and after the process
completed, I noticed that I ended up with a GENERIC kernel instead of
SMP like I had before. Since I've done the upgrade process several
times before on other machines, I was a little on autopilot, but I
believe the upgrade script did recognized I had kernel/smp component
installed.
I checked the stable archives and didn't see anything similar to my
problem. Is there a step I missed, or did the upgrade script not
correctly recognize my SMP AMD? Are there any additional logs from the
freebsd-update script I should provide?
If I were to roll back the update with freebsd-update, would I have do
to it twice- once for the userland updates and once for the kernel?
Here's the first part of the log for the SMP 6.1 kernel:
