The first release candidate builds of the 9.2-RELEASE release cycle are now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures. The image checksums follow at the end of this email. ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.2/ (or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites). If you notice problems you can report them through the normal GNATS PR system or here on the -stable mailing list. If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing system use "releng/9.2". Please be aware that cvsup and CVS are both deprecated, and are not supported methods of updating the src/ tree. Changes between -BETA2 and -RC1 include: - Expand the list of devices claimed by cxgbe(4). - Fix a panic in the racct code when munlock(2) is called with incorrect values. - Remove ctl(4) from GENERIC. ctladm(8) now automatically loads the corresponding module as necessary. This reduces the default memory footprint and allows FreeBSD to work on i386 machines with 128 MB of RAM out of the box. - Fix zfs send -D hang after processing requiring a CTRL+C to interrupt. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running earlier FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RC1 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: # freebsd-update install It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible, especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example, FreeBSD 8.x. Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat8x and other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted into the new userland: # shutdown -r now Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove stale files: # freebsd-update install Checksums: amd64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-amd64-bootonly.iso) = 57312363a8ce588c22c21b849af802ca2616e105da2e29b4ae6f549d41e9a32d SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso) = bc30f5661304c65d14612d39e19f9651502fbdc467d9ad02402c58a99d6fe2da SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-amd64-memstick.img) = 57af7a47604d2c138e4887a717526f7a48d90ba0e0f5e23425845a7b1a2ff131 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-amd64-bootonly.iso) = c36b97aec501a49f3a49b38303b53f0d MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso) = 5124086f31bf5efc40b770dd2439ce7a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-amd64-memstick.img) = 2f2ea636cfc5fe74ea15a4c1cbd2f8cb i386: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-i386-bootonly.iso) = 7926b57fdc9ce536bdf51722a524d9ae385a82bf02c42b3315604542672b0906 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-i386-disc1.iso) = d33ec96a39e2b5a53b143397daac4d3778c30b3ec0592fccd5e8b84def69d03c SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-i386-memstick.img) = 523899af78effdf7760791d91c3d56620a484b73c74bbfa82e9f21178979ddb8 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-i386-bootonly.iso) = 3500e3b375a955d91f194b8ab3a58c2f MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-i386-disc1.iso) = 4534a3675a5a38d475a7eff6651f4289 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-i386-memstick.img) = c4cbb5478c557dd9e2200da027da799c ia64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-ia64-bootonly.iso) = bd95b2480edd547fff06587a04f65ceceeaa312ac08e0fceccbced47f3df47ac SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-ia64-disc1.iso) = 93795e3e9df2e3ea6163efadf0f25a70d8574f75868826a403721fbc8abec43e SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-ia64-memstick.img) = d027d2965906c96798855adadf60ea622d87e19e28de15efe889086962d73774 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-ia64-bootonly.iso) = 3be3ec429b03facf5f6f29ac409dd2f6 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-ia64-disc1.iso) = 24f6a2c3749799337065ebc7bb8f7d92 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-ia64-memstick.img) = 8fa6c1736ea74bc440137079bf3c9fa1 powerpc: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-bootonly.iso) = 0d0f2048ffe81ac7bc36a687ccd8dcd4368460c4dd7055cdabde5f70824062d0 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-disc1.iso) = 31544e513992da8c1df4ca043d22952b102ed2c1b9c184db6ddc3a2fd4aecedc SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-memstick.img) = 48306dd6f718d820ca2464eedfafe761b2fb5f211d1f23545e3cb1f6dfdbf0a8 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-bootonly.iso) = 20d43ffe51a6d374fc358dd7e5c65a2a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-disc1.iso) = 8deb66e7d557734fd64aaaa709c8512a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-memstick.img) = 324373d1a647722f6b925038b00a9004 powerpc64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-bootonly.iso) = 27f4f23093067d20a92f85d7fb611c6576e7ceb4fdf2481154ca05ba1ddbf282 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso) = 008f42feb9c6378976d20cec227fbd5ab811f36be1519db9f90e0edd07df961c SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-memstick.img) = 49602d2f1cbd70e09fe8a52dd524b5c2199eab62c12a3f5a01b7da556f6fb631 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-bootonly.iso) = 5f9e70ef5e219cddf7efd7d8b781be75 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso) = 4e86808cfe5fc9ad2bea65de65f7c39a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-memstick.img) = f848312980656b313306fd0cef29a87c sparc64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-sparc64-bootonly.iso) = 6ba72bc66c0d18fcb4fe9cd1a67289fbf4d2aacb85d21920b4e1d2f46e21a0cc SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-sparc64-disc1.iso) = 089b9792b4e3af9cc1a341b06757c852e57ed19ec8ef81b4c99dba047dbb9c8d MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-sparc64-bootonly.iso) = 08b69371ea4222c42058083e364da1a0 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-RC1-sparc64-disc1.iso) = 2d041fb59229dcf5bc46337679d32ab0 Glen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
