similar to: Updating from 4.8 release to 4.8 stable

Hello, I installed 4.8-RELEASE a few weeks ago, and since I let the effort sit stagnant for a while I decided to do the cvsup/buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV steps to get current. Went fine, rebooted, then noticed that just one CPU was recognized: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 19 17:05:20 PDT 2003

I'm still kind of hung up looking for some definitive answers on this issue. Perhaps you guys can help me out? Frank Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:55:33 -0500 (CDT) From: "F.

hi guys, i have version 4.8-STABLE running. i've just update my stable-supfile and building, recompiling my custom kernel, my question is: if im going to cvsup my stable-supfile again, and compile the customed kernel again, do i have to: make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster again or just make buildkernel KERNCONF & make install KERNCONF? hoping for your reply guys, thanks.

I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup). I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message: > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text. > Text is

After installing a text-based development environment via /stand/sysinstall (followed by CVSup, makeworld/kernel etc to 4-8-stable), I realize I want to install KDE, too. I initiated this with: pkg_add -r kdebase followed again by CVSup etc. Apparently that wasn't enough. Am getting message "XFree86 setup utility.. not installed" when trying to config xf86config (text-based) via

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13. After make buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster -p, make installworld, and mergemaster -v, I do (per mostgraveconcern, RIP): cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean make all install The 'make all install' gives errors: In file included from keymap.c:40: keymap.h:4436: `keymap_be_iso'

Hi, I would like to follow 4-stable on my FreeBSD box, and i can't fetch binaries from /stand/sysinstall. Can anyone help me? Here is how i did: 1) I installed 4.8-RELEASE from CD, 2) I used cvsup to upgrade. For this i used the stable-supfile as shown in the Handbook. => My OS version as shown by 'uname -a' and '/stand/sysinstall' is "4.8-STABLE". It

Greetings, After I updated my FreeBSD box from 4.7 to 4.8 I "lost" my users, but heck with users, what I mean by lost is that I can't login, when I try to login as the root or a regular user it says: pam_authanticate: permission denied so, I went ahead and re-updated my box from the very beginning, including unnecessary at this point cvsup. I used this command: make buildworld

Got a pretty stupid question... My kernel is now 4.8 Stable#1 but when does the number change when i do makeworld and the other things? or where can i see that?

I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I

Greetings, Apologies if this is not the appropriate list, but my questions are about best practices in maintaining production servers (so I believe I can justify a post in -stable, short of a -release list :) I maintain a modest installation of 6 FreeBSD servers. They're CVSUP'd to RELENG_4_8 (I make buildworld on each individually) and I portupgrade ports as necessary. In an attempt to

Hi, I was under the impression a successful make world was updating include files in /usr/include/netinet too. When I have a good make world, the files in /usr/include have new time stamps, but the ones in netinet have not! Am I missing something here? My current stable doesn't compille properly it fails in kdump on a missing ioctlcmd_t typedef. Peter

Hello, I have a problem with loader. I recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting. Here is what I do: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLACK make installkernel KERNCONF=BLACK At this point I can reboot and all is good. After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make

I noticed that there were quite a few files with version ids of '$FreeBSD$' when I ran mergemaster after an install of 4.8R. This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future

Hello, I recently did a 'make world' to update my base system due to the realpath bug. After that finished, I noticed that I still had the following statically compiled binaries laying around that did not get updated during a 'make world'. I track 4-STABLE. /usr/bin/miniperl /sbin/mount_kernfs /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/modunload /sbin/modload /sbin/ft /stand/boot_crunch /stand/find

I'm currently administering a machine about 1500mi from me with nobody local to the machine to assist me. Anyways, my only access to this machine is via SSH, no remote serial console or anything. When I try to do a "make installworld" I end up with install: rename: /lib/INS@aTxk to /lib/libcrypt.so.3: Operation not permitted very shortly thereafter. I cannot boot

hi to all FreeBSD user. i have a problem about updating from 4.8-RELEASED to 4.8-STABLE, here's exactly what i did: first: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile, where my stable-supfile is located at /root. 2nd: cd /usr/src; make buildworld; make buildkernel KERNCONF=BUFDAEMON; make installkernel KERNCONF=BUFDAEMON 3rd: reboot; mergemaster -p; make installworld; mergemaster; reboot. after

Hello all, well, the first problem i got is lsof wont work. I got the message "lsof: WARNING: compiled for FreeBSD release 4.3-RELEASE; this is 4.8-STABLE." Then I tried to to cvsup and rebuild world. The file i used is /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and tag is RELENG_4. After a few hours i got 4.9-PRERELEASE :( Next time i used RELENG_4_8 tag and got 4.8-RELEASE-p4 :((

Hello, freebsd-security. I'm trying to build 4.8-RELEASE-p7 to distribute it trought my clients. What am I doing: #cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup #cvsup standard-supfile (after I've done necessary changes) #cd /usr/src #make buildworld Thus, I have /usr/obj "populated with the output of ``make buildworld''" as it described in man 7 release. Then, I have read

I went from 4.6.2 to 4.8 via cvsup I can't get any of the ports to compile only a bunch of error messages I rebuilt sysinstall, made my ports current with cvsup, the new kernel via /usr/src what did I miss??? Thank You, Doug
