/usr/src/UPDATING says: To build a kernel ----------------- If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just a few days old), you should follow this procedure. It is the most failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld, make kernel-toolchain make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE But at the very end of this procedure, I get: [...] ===> zlib (install) install -T release -o root -g wheel -m 555 zlib.ko /boot/kernel/ install -T debug -o root -g wheel -m 555 zlib.ko.debug /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/ kldxref /boot/kernel kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in file atacard.ko kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in file atp.ko kldxref: unknown metadata record 4 in file atp.ko [...etc...] Should I have started with "make buildworld," or would that have bombed out even worse? Do I reboot and "make buildworld"? Or do I "make buildworld" now, while still running 10.4? -- George -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
