Firstly, a big thank-you to all the developers for their work on 4.x.
I've just u/g 3.4-STABLE -> 4.0, following the instructions in
/usr/source/UPDATING using sources cvsup'd 10:00GMT 4th March, and
although it went quite smoothly came across a few minor problems
which I'm posting here in case anyone is interested.
1. This message appeared 166 times during ``make buildworld'':
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.4" not found
It also caused config(8) on the new kernel to fail, but
ldconfig -R /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libc
cured that.
2. UPDATING includes the following in the instructions to build the
new kernel:
cd src/usr.bin/genassym
make depend all install clean
cd ../../usr.sbin/config
make depend all install clean
however doing a ``make clean'' at this point then causes ``make
installworld'' fail in those directories.
3. This probably won't affect most people but I'm including it so
it's in the mail archives.
I have a Diamond Fireport 40 SCSI card (NCR/Symbios 53c875j
chip) and my 2nd (UW SCSI) disk is a single slice (although
*not* dangerously dedicated) mounted as /usr. As this disk is
not a boot device I had not enabled boot probing for it in the
SCSI BIOS but under 2.2.x and 3.x it was still found by the old
ncr driver.
The new sym driver, however, failed to find the disk and caused
a "device not configured" error from mount(8) which resulted in
the boot-up dropping to single-user. It took me a while to find
the cause (I thought it was a problem, or my mistake, when making
the new device nodes for the disks).
