similar to: Using FreeBSD Update to deploy system updates from custom builds

HI, i have updatete to 6.1-PRERELEASE and after the "installworld" step GRUB is unable to boot FreeBSD. After i did the installworld and rebooted the GRUB error was: 23 : Error while parsing number I have reinstalled the standard FreeBSD loader for now. Booting with a GRUB boot-floppy i am able to start either XP or Linux but trying to start FreeBSD the system just reboots, no

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

During installworld I get: cat /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/man/ncurses.3x > ncurses.3 sh /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/man/MKterminfo.sh /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/man/terminfo.head /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/include/Caps

Hi, I've got a Dell Latitude D830 running 7.1-PRERELEASE/amd64 which I've just csup'd to the -STABLE as of 5-Jan-2009, and after going thru' the std build+install; XOrg now comes up with a blank screen, sometimes interspersed with green dots. I did test out X prior to doing an installworld, and that came up with no problems. However, after doing an installworld, X is now broken.

Hi all, I did cvsup to 7-STABLE yesterday, build, installed and booted a new kernel then buildworld. Then I noticed that my PS/2 keyboard is not working at the loader menu so I booted multiuser and did the make installworld part from there. Then I tried to reboot but now it hangs after the line Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a It sits there for at least 10min. I tried so far: -

mmmm... stable... :D /usr/src # make installworld ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. /usr/src # grep audit /usr/src/UPDATING /usr/src # ??? -- - Alfred Perlstein - CTO Okcupid.com / FreeBSD Hacker / All that jazz -

Saw this just come through for 8-current, 7-stable ought to have it in a week or so. I have not encountered the problem so I would not be able to judge if this fixes it.

Hi! I'm trying to cross-compile 4.8-STABLE world to install it over NFS later.

Hi, I attach 2 files in this email, the first is a Makefile and the second is jail.conf. For demonstre my idea i resolved create one "Pseudo Prototyping", for test is necessary: 1 - Create dir /usr/local/basejail 2 - Copy Makefile to /usr/local/basejail 3 - Copy jail.conf to /etc 4 - The initial basejail is precompiled is distributed in CD1, for simular basejail is necessary a

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 have setup a few Asterisk systems for customers using Digium TDM400 cards and Aastra phones. No problems with sound quality at all except at this one site. Every time I try their system I don't hear any problems but they tell me that it is really bad. They describe it a a loud scratching sound. Are there any tests that can be done to pinpoint the problem? Has anyone seen this before? Are

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.

hi all. it was happened that i have no upgrade my system long time. Before that i used for upgrading "classic" way. make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel mergemaster make installworld But in current moment as i can see the upgrading is totally changed. As i understand commands sequence is next: #freebsd-update fetch #freebsd-update install #freebsd-update upgrade -r

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

We have 10 SuperMicro PDSMi+ 5015M-MTs that are panic'ing every few days. This started shortly after upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Other than switching to a debugging kernel, a little sysctl tuning, and patching with freebsd-update, they are stock. The debugging kernel was built from source that is also being patched with freebsd-update. These systems are

Good Day, Please cc me ( eperrin@cseven.ca ) on responses to this, I am not on either mailing list anymore. I cvsup'ed on the STABLE branch today (September 9th) at around 2:30PM EDT. No problems with buildworld or kernel build, but I am getting failures during installworld Error and output from uname -a are below. vm/pmap.h -> vm/pmap.ph vm/swap_pager.h -> vm/swap_pager.ph vm/vm.h

Just a quick question, My system is quite heavily customised with regard to permissions and MAC labels on system binaries. Is there any way to stop make installworld resetting all my customisation? At the moment I have a set of scripts to set permissions on everything but that's not exactly ideal. Mark -- PGP: http://www.darklogik.org/pub/pgp/pgp.txt B776 43DC 8A5D EAF9 2126 9A67 A7DA 390F

Murray, Your commits earlier this evening to zh_CN.GB18030 fixed that -STABLE breakage, but zh_CN.GBK appears still to be missing, which causes 'make installworld' to fail. Can you please fix this as well? install -m 644 -o root -g wheel uk_UA.KOI8-U.out /usr/share/locale/uk_UA.KOI8-U/LC_CTYPE install -m 644 -o root -g wheel zh_CN.eucCN.out /usr/share/locale/zh_CN.eucCN/LC_CTYPE

I am cleaning up my 4-STABLE system. After a fresh installworld, I am looking at files that did not get touched by the install. Is it safe to remove all such files? In particular, I am looking at /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1, which has the schg flag set. I am afraid to remove this for fear of making my system unbootable. Could somebody please reassure me that it is ok to noschg and remove this old

Hi all, I use FreeBSD for severals years and this Project now have a possibility the full security update (src) with freebsd-update, is really great for Release users but is break for Stable user. Ok !!! Exist a possibility for apply manual patch and compile issue, but for me problem existe in fix kernel issue in stable branch because is require a update for last stable and this
