The second release candidate of the 9.1-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, and powerpc64. The MD5/SHA256 checksums are at the bottom of this message. The ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/ (or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites). A third RC build has been decided on, currently scheduled for a week from now. The release builds themselves will begin about a week after RC3. The current target schedule has been updated: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html If you notice any problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or here on the -stable mailing list. There was enough "community push-back" from the decision to not export the 9.1 release branch activity to CVS that the decision has been reversed. A firm decision has been made that 10.X release activity will not be exported to CVS. It hasn't been decided yet if the upcoming 8.X and/or 9.X (past 9.1) release activity will be exported. More information about that will get posted as decisions get made. If you want to do a source-based update to an existing system using SVN the branch to use is releng/9.1. If you would like to use CVS instead use RELENG_9_1. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 9.0-RELEASE, 9.1-BETA1, or 9.1-RC1 can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RC2 During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 7.X, 8.X) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 9.1-RC2, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 7.X or FreeBSD 8.X and FreeBSD 9.X.

Hi, Sorry for crossposting, but this would be really nice to be fixed in the final release. I just installed one RC2 onto a XenServer 6.1 cluster but cannot boot with XENHVM kernel. I started a thread on the freebsd-xen list, which is here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-xen/2012-October/001374.html Regards, Andras On Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:54:00 -0400, Ken Smith wrote:> The second release candidate of the 9.1-RELEASE release cycle is now > available on the FTP servers for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, and > powerpc64.

Updated two 9.1-RC1 machines (both R210, dual GEOM MIRRORED disk) 1 went OK; 1 went belly up (see attachment) (after the 1st reboot) - Invalid format - BTX halted. Any ideas why ? (need to upgrade more machines without KVM access ....) -AJ-

https://sabotage.org/FBSD/FBSD-9.1RC2.jpg Screen shot. Basicly the only diff between the two r210 are the disks, one has 2x2TB (works) and the one that has 2x1Tb fails with the above error. Both are sw/ mirrored. No hw/ raid and ACHI sata settings. : -----Original Message----- : From: Andriy Gapon [mailto:avg at FreeBSD.org] : Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 3:30 PM : To: Alex de Joode : Cc: freebsd-stable at freebsd.org : Subject: Re: FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 Available... : : on 19/10/2012 00:07 Alex de Joode said the following: : > Updated two 9.1-RC1 machines (both R210, dual GEOM MIRRORED disk) : > : > : > 1 went OK; : > 1 went belly up (see attachment) (after the 1st reboot) : : There is no spoon^Wattachment. : Consider sending a link. : : > - Invalid format : > : > - BTX halted. : > : > : > Any ideas why ?
