It's already been pointed out that this is a non-fatal error in 'installworld.'

You have to do, as UPDATING tells you: make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster for things to work right. The Sig 12 are from new system calls in the newly compiled binaries. You must reboot a new kernel to cope.

Bug Peter Wemm [EMAIL PROTECTED] to fix it since he broke it. :) Or find somone else who groks the src/Makefile.inc1 stuff. The real fix is harder and involves fixing the kernel build so that modules stop being a hack and all .ko's are built in the same directory and then kldxref is run at build time as a build tool. I guess the other hack would be to change the makefiles back to ignoring failures from kldxref for now until the bigger problem is fixed. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

If this would work I'd gladly follow the procedure described in updating. make buildworld: works ok. make buildkernel: works ok. copy GENERIC.hints to /boot/device.hints: works ok. make installkernel: stops with error: "kldxref not found" The suggestion on current was to simply make installworld so that the missing file is installed and then make installkernel but this one wouldn't work either. so the kernel does need a file which is only part of curent but world will only install itself when a current kernel exists.

Kyle Butt said: >To upgrade from 4.x-stable to current >- snip >reboot in single user [3] >Did you do this? IIRC, Sig 12 is unimplemented syscall, which would occur >when userland and the kernel are out of sync. I don't recall seeing this in any of the docs, nor has anyone else (to my knowledge) brought it up on the lists before, so I thought it was a local problem, but it's happened to me a couple times when jumping from -stable to -current. It seems after I do the installkernel and reboot to go to single user mode (like I always do with source upgrades), loader(8) still tries to load the /kernel left over from -stable instead of the new one that I just installed. I'm guessing that maybe loader(8) is installed as part of the installworld, and hence the -stable loader is still there and defaults to /kernel instead of /boot/kernel/kernel. A simple sequence of interrupting the loader and typing: unload kernel load /boot/kernel/kernel (load any applicable modules if you need them) boot -s Does the trick. After the installworld everything seems to work fine. Might this be the problem here? If so, perhaps it should be documented somewhere (yes I am volunteering, if somebody has any pointers for who to send the patch to :) Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

upgrade from 4.5 to current fails
Hello Folks. I currently try to upgrade from 4.5 STABLE to CURRENT. I have cvsuped my source and already made buildworld and buildkernel. But installworld failed with Signal 12 while installing chpass. When I try to remove chpass from hand I get a "operation not permitted" error. Apparently the immutable flag prevents the file from being deleted. Which is strange because the securelevel should be 0 when I'm in single user mode. So I should be able to change the immutable flag. So I booted from my fixit floppy mounted my slices and chrooted to my root partition. But even then installworld dies with Signal 12 while processing chpass. And rm -f chpass will give me an "operation not permitted" error. So what is wrong here? Any Ideas?
