.. and after all upgrade process /boot/kernel/kernel.gz remains untouched, but there is also no newer /boot/kernel/kernel installed to use instead of the gzipped one. >Fix: Check if kernel is gzipped or also install new stock kernel. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
