Hello, and happy New Year to all!
I'm hoping to update all our servers to 7 in the near future.
As such, I'm experimenting with it on one of our less prominent
production servers.
My procedure for it's installation and usage:
download 7-CURRENT disk1 iso (B4) from nearest freebsd mirror
install choice - minimum + src
make config options, reboot
download cvsup-no-gui pkg
cvsup ports + src
(above procedures performed 2007-12-30)
(above procedures again performed on 2007-12-31)
In every case, I wiped the hard drive, performing a fresh install.
After initial install. Sending a halt, in order to reboot the system
results in garbled messages to the console. Specifically, the
Syncing disks... message is unintelligible. As does is line
preceding it.
Also. After syncing the source, I altered/renamed GENERIC and
performed build/world/kernel, and install/kernel/world.
During the buildworld process I recieved more warnings than I
can recall seeing in previous versions <= 6.
ee (aee) resulted in "Illegal instruction... core dumped" after
the build/install process.
FWIW this is on an i386 2 proc MB.
Given the many changes in 7, I spent more time reading the doc's
and errata than I have spent in previous versions.
Thank you for all your time and attention to this matter.
It is just a sign that 7 is getting higher concurrency than 6 did.
The warnings are probably from the new compiler (gcc 4) which as
usual is more strict and more verbose. Try building ee with -ggdb
and running a backtrace.
OK. Will do. I'll get back and complain if it failed. :)
No. Seriously, I'll try it and report on the results.
Thanks for the reply.
