Ok, upgraded today (via ftp) and have some BIG problems. Seems like
there's always bugs in the upgrade routines.
First off, /dev/console had the wrong major/minor number. The symptoms
were that I coudln't see the results of any startup scripts! I changed
this to 4,0 which I think is correct. i believe it was 6,1 before!
OK, so I figured that would fix everything. Nope.
Kerneld wasn't part of the new rc.sysinit. So I put it in like in the old
one. Kerneld does load, but no modules are automatically loaded! I can
load them with insmod OK. I get some error from modprobe on startup but I
can't find it at this time and I obviously can't reboot at the moment.
X doesn't work at all. I am using AcceleratedX so -probeonly doesn't
actually do anything but start X. I get a blank screen that I Can't exit
out of. I get a messagesaying that it can't set the default font path
(all the dirs do exist) and that it can't find the default font, fixed.
It won't start without it.
Rebooting (reboot or halt) tries to unmount but I get errors about
"umount2" which I can find no reference to in the rc files! As a result,
I think my partitions are not unmounted because they are always marked as
dirty.
The message is
"Unmounting file sysetms umount 2: Function not implemented"
Help! I have a barely working system at the moment!
