Basically:
Update your source with cvsup
read /usr/src/UPDATING and follow any instructions required (I believe
you'll need to manually create the relatively new sendmail users)
Reveiw you kernel config file to see if any options have changed since
4.3
make buildkernel
make installkernel
reboot >>> if the reboot doesn't go well, boot kernel.old and copy it to
/kernel to get back to 4.3
make buildworld
make installworld
Ok, I have cvsup'ped successfully, upon buildkernel I get:
"Error: version of config does not match kernel!
config version = 400018, version required = 400019
Make sure that /usr/src/usr.sbin/config is in sync with your /usr/src/sys
and install a new config binary before trying this again."
Doing a:
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config
# make
Fails with "make: dont' know hwo to make config.1. Stop" At this point it
looks like everything has compiled, and is in the linking object files
stage.
I understand that I am doing oposite of what the handbook says by
installing a new kernel first, but is there a way to get around the out of
date config problem so I can proceed in this 'backwards' approach?
I may be wrong, but ...
Do this order:
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
reboot
make installworld
This should get you an updated config program, while still giving you the
safety of backing out if the new kernel doesn't boot.
If I'm wrong on this point, please correct me. But I don't see it being
harmful to try. (as nothing actually gets installed until the 'make install*'
stage)
