Re : freebsd-update with MYKERNEL kernel configuration
Hi again! During FreeBSD 7.1 installation, I made some changes to my BSD partitions. I didn't touch ad0s1h (/home), so there is still my data. Installation went good, but I see disk boot failure... error message when trying to boot OS. Using Fixit liveCD I see: #fdisk /dev/ad0 *** Working on device /dev/ad0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=119705 heads=16 sectors/track=255 (4080 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=119705 heads=16 sectors/track=255 (4080 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 209729457 (102406 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) start 209729520, size 10508400 (5131 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 15 (0x0f),(Extended DOS (LBA)) start 220237920, size 268153200 (130934 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED #bsdlabel /dev/ad0s1 # /dev/ad0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1048576 63 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248 b: 2097152 1048639 swap c: 209729457 63 unused 0 0 # raw part, don't edit d: 1048576 3145791 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248 e: 20230144 4194367 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248 f: 2097152 24424511 4.2BSD 512 4096 22424 g: 4194304 26521663 4.2BSD 8192 65536 8 h: 179013553 30715967 4.2BSD 0 0 0 partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition h: partition extends past end of unit So, slice ad0s1 is active, partitions can be mounted and viewed, all seems OK. boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0 and fdisk -B /dev/ad0 doesn't solve the problem.

That message should probably be more strongly worded. It is absolutely *imperative* that the custom kernel is upgraded before continuing with freebsd-upgrade install. For more information about how to upgrade to freebsd 8 see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/updating-upgrading- freebsdupdate.html Then I was looking for the way of kernel upgrade, but found nothing. How could I build 8.0 kernel in FreeBSD 7.2? Of course, there were 7.2 sources in /usr/src and I didn't find any sources in /var/db/freebsd-update/. It's the first my question. Use csup(1) to upgrade the sources to RELENG_8_0. Thus I decided to upgrade all except the kernel and then rebuild the kernel (that worked good while upgrading 7.1 - 7.2). As you found out, you should never do that. Always make sure the kernel is the same or newer as world (userland) especially when upgrading to a new major version. I made as mentioned in hanbook: # freebsd-upgrade install # shutdown -r now # freebsd-upgrade install At this point most userland utilities (because they all use libc.so) depend on features only available in the 8.0 kernel, while the installed kernel is still at 7.1. Essentially the system is bricked. There were many errors bad sistem call on th last command. After all I discovered that much files from / were lost (I didn't find any grep, bzcat and so on). On boot kernel can't find fsck_ufs, so automatic mounting fails. If mounted by hand, there is no way to login because of some init error. Single user mode works. freebsd-update roolback can't find any backup. Shell scripts can't find test (it really doesn't exists in /bin/[ ) and fails. How can I restore the system? I've FreeBSD 7.1 CD. You can try reinstalling 7.1 taking care not to repartition the HDD. If all went well the system runs a GENERIC kernel, which is upgradeable by freebsd- upgrade. You can then retry the upgrade process. This process (the reinstall from cdrom) will revert any changes to /etc, so you will need to restore that from backup. Perhaps others know a better/easier way. Thank's in advance for your help.
