I have a freebsd system with 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #4: Fri Jan 2 01:59:31 EST 2004
I'd like to upgrade to 5.2 and would like to attempt to upgrade without formatting (cvsup buildworld). My problem is that I tried to upgrade this machine before to 5.0 release and the system wouldn't boot 5. The kernel would consistently panic. At the time, I assumed it was a compatibility problem with my hardware or some piece of flaky hardware that didn't show up in windows. freebsd 4.8 or redhat 9.
The hardware:
compaq 4410US: 1.3 gig celeron, 256mb ram (crucial pc133), 40 gb ata 100 seagate, 3com 10/100 nic (i think its a 905b), onboard intel graphics controller.
The last time i tried, i also had an ATI Rage 128 AGP and a Sound Blaster Audigy in the system.
I realize I will need to recompile all the ports and software i've installed, but i want to know if there is anything about this hardware setup that would cause it to flip out on 5.2.

'Re-implementing what I designed in 1979 is not interesting to me personally. For kids who are 20 years younger than me, Linux is a great way to cut your teeth. It's a cultural phenomenon and a business phenomenon. Mac OS X is a rock-solid system that's beautifully designed. I much prefer it to Linux.'
