freebsd-update fetch trying to update custom kernel
Hi, I have FreeBSD 9.0 (p4) with custom kernel. uname -i says it: HOMEWIFI90 However, when I run freebsd-update fetch command it would like to update my kernel as well: freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 9.0-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /var/db/mergemaster.mtree The following files will be updated as part of updating to 9.0-RELEASE-p4: /boot/kernel/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols What is wrong with it? If I'm not mistaken, this problem first appeared in 9.0-RELEASE-p2, before this everything worked fine. How can I fix this error?

Hi Alexandre, Have you rebuilt your custom kernel after ? This is described in the Handbook in the section 25.2.2 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html Yes, I rebuilt my custom kernel after. But this doesn't help - every time I run freebsd-update fetch it suugest me to update kernel and kernel.symbols.

Then why not follow my suggestion of _letting_ freebsd-update update the kernel, but _use_ a different one instead which it won't touch? In /boot/loader.conf: kernel=mykernel bootfile=/boot/mykernel/kernel Now freebsd-update can happily alter the default kernel without affecting yours. Note that this implies that _you_ have to take care of kernel changes and recompiling if needed. I know, it's just a workaround and doesn't address the problem directly, but it should get you away from any related trouble. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The main idea - may be I missed something and there will be an easy fix to my problem. I want to make sure that the problem exists, and I'm not the only person faced with this error. And also I have a small hope that problem will be fixed by freebsd team :-).

I've not used freebsd-update yet and probably won't. Is it just a matter of time, i.e. waiting for the compilation to finish? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you're building your own customised kernel, why don't you just build the entire system from source? I've not used freebsd-update yet and probably won't. Is it just a matter of time, i.e. waiting for the compilation to finish? Actually I built this system from source. And now use freebsd-update just to install security patches (it seems to be easy and faster then to rebuild world).
