Re: I did something stupid ?
/usr/src/UPDATING. To be short: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=you_kernel make installkernel KERNCONF=you_kernel reboot -- I reached that point and the server simply did not come back to me after the reboot I still could not give me info since I still could not login to that machine :((( Peter ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I did something stupid ?
I have succesfully update my freebsd 5.2.1 using cvssup supfile-standard. A month after that I decied to update again and put tag=RELENG_5_2 whc is osme sort of downgrade I think .. I made build world succesfully, but when I tried to make build kernel I got config: Error: device ixgb is unknown and more erro I do not remeber. It was strane since I have not edited the kernel config file ?! However I commeted the both trouble device I though useles: RAID controller and some intel 100/10Gb card. Which turns to be a misatke since I could not connect to that server any more. I sent request to the host to boot it with GENERIC kernel. Aany advice is welcome :-) Thannk in a advance.

Re: I did something stupid ?
Sound like what you actually did was upgrade to FreeBSD-CURRENT which is bleeding edge (and probably closer to 5.3 than 5.21), and then downgraded to 5.2.1. If you couldn't build the kernel then you shouldn't actually have installed anything yet. In that case I would leave it and see if you can get back on track with 5.3-RELEASE (subject to anyone more knowledgable answering). I don't really see why you would be having trouble booting, unless you installed something, out of sequence. Have you tried booting the previous kernel?

Without the specific output is hard to tell. ?! However I commeted the both trouble device I though useles: RAID controller and some intel 100/10Gb card.

Aany advice is welcome :-) The proper upgrade procedure is described both in handbook and in /usr/src/UPDATING. To be short: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=you_kernel make installkernel KERNCONF=you_kernel reboot mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster It seems you haven't done that. Sound like what you actually did was upgrade to FreeBSD-CURRENT which is bleeding edge (and probably closer to 5.3 than 5.21), and then downgraded to 5.2.1. No, the OP has cvsup to the security branch for 5.2.1.R If you couldn't build the kernel then you shouldn't actually have installed anything yet. In that case I would leave it and see if you can get back on track with 5.3-RELEASE (subject to anyone more knowledgable answering).
