No issues with that in-place source update for my headless buld machine,
but a couple of laptops blanked out and seem to have locked up on the
reboot after the build/install completed.

I'm tracking head daily on these machines (1 headless build machine; 2
laptops).  And the vast bulk of the time, this "just works."  Today
wasn't one of thoe times. :-}

I keep their sources pretty much in lock-step, and also update installed
ports daily.  (Though that's actually done under stable/14, which I also
track daily.)

Once one of the laptops would lock up (didn't even get to display the
xdm login banner), I couldn't even ping it, so unfortunately, I have
precious little actual information to offer (though I'm happy to
experiment, given suitable clues).

For the (successful) build machine the last couple of "uname" outputs
were:

FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #151 main-n275966-d2a55e6a9348: Fri Mar 14 11:00:43 UTC 
2025     
r...@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC 
amd64 1500034 1500034
FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #152 main-n275975-5963423232e8: Sat Mar 15 10:59:14 UTC 
2025     
r...@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC 
amd64 1500034 1500034

For the laptops, I was able to reboot using kernel.old (the one
from yesterday, main-n275966-d2a55e6a9348), though I didn't exercise
the machines much.

As the laptops were booting, I had the impression that at the point
where the screen normally switched to "graphics" mode, it just blanked
out & never displayed anything again (until I power-cycled the machine).

Each laptop has an integrated Intel graphics device, and I have:

PORTS_MODULES+=graphics/drm-61-kmod

in /etc/src.conf to ensure that that kernel module gets rebuilt whenever
the kernel does.

Peace,
david
