Upgrading to freebsd 5.4 STABLE from 5.3 kernel panic, what do i do to get data back?

2005-10-13 Thread Alex
Hello list!

I have been successfully been running 5.3 for a couple of weeks when i
decided i should upgrade to 5.4 stable. Now the make world went fine
except mergemaster complaining it couldn't find usr/src/etc or something
similar. I made make buildkernel wich also went fine. But when I booted
into my upgraded system I got kernel panic, so I made another restart
and this time it went ok.

Yestoday I removed SCSI card and DAT tape and NIC so I can have them in
my main server.

Now i cant get past this:

freebsd 5.4-stable

kernel trap 12 with interupts disabled

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x9
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8 :0xc077c073
stack pointer = 0x10 :0xc0c20d00
frame pointer = 0x10 :0xc0c20d0c
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 0 ()
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 1s

So my attack-plan is to reinstall system from scratch and never do make
buildworld & make buildkernel again, BUT, I have a whole lot of
information remaining on both disks that are in right now. From what I
could see in the installer, fbsd installer wont let me "install in a
different directory with filesystem still intact" like windows
doesor does it?

Please help! :)

UPDATE:

I have now done what has been advised, to do boot kernel.old at the boot
loader prompt, and I get the same error...running out of options here...
:/

You don't need to reinstall from scratch. Get into the boot loader prompt and 
type boot "kernel.old", this way you'll boot the old 5.3 kernel. Once there, 
update your src tree and perform the upgrade following the instructions in 
the 20.4.1 chapter of the handbook:
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
