freebsd stable - Nov 2010 - Upgrading from 7.3 to 8.1: uname -a still shows 7.3p3

Hi,

I have the 8.1 sources, did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel,  
installworld.
Now I have 8.1 binaries:

server# file /bin/tcsh
/bin/tcsh: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1  
(FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for FreeBSD 8.1,  
stripped

but not the kernel:

server# uname -a
FreeBSD server 7.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p3 #3: Tue Nov 16  
01:12:23 CET 2010     root@server:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386


How is that possible?

Or is it just a mis-representation?

kern.osreldate: 801000

I did a csup twice and rebuilt the kernel multiple times.
Also did a complete buildworld buildkernel cycle.




Regards,
Rainer

Hi,
Have you really followed steps in /usr/src/Makefile ?
I have added step 0 and 1a, that are useful if previous builworld fail.

# For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a
# delta of a few days):
#
#  0.  `rm -rf /usr/obj'   {Added by me}
#  1.  `cd /usr/src'       (or to the directory containing your source
tree).
#  1a. `make cleanworld'   {Added by me, usefull if previous builworld
failed}
#  2.  `make buildworld'
#  3.  `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'     (default is
GENERIC).
#  4.  `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'   (default is
GENERIC).
#       [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel"
target]
#  5.  `reboot'        (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader
prompt).
#  6.  `mergemaster -p'
#  7.  `make installworld'
#  8.  `make delete-old'
#  9.  `mergemaster'                         (you may wish to use -U or
-ai).
# 10.  `reboot'
# 11.  `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them
anymore)

The handbook is also useful : http://bit.ly/aIGbjj

For whatever reason it seems that /sys/conf/newvers.sh was never updated
when your sources were updated. You should be able to confirm this by
looking through that file for '7.3'.

If that was not the case then I would believe you have a stale /usr/obj
that you should have removed before building kernel and world. If you
still have the original obj directory available to you then you should
be able to confirm this by looking through a file called vers.c that
would also contain the 7.3 string.

In any case you should verify that your sources are supposed to be what
they are, and one good way to do this is by running (svn status) if you
have checked your sources out via svn(1) 'devel/subversion-freebsd'


Good luck,

There seems to be a "reboot" missing before installworld...? :)

kern.osreldate: 801000

You would not get that sysctl without rebooting on a 7.3 kernel. ;)

did you accidentally have a mirrored boot drive which is degraded with 
failed first drive? then you install system to degraded mirror, but boot 
from failed drive with old kernel.
