Hi all! I've got a problem while upgrading FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p3 -> FreeBSD 8.0-RELESE with freebsd-update(8).
First of all I made a copy of the most configuration files. Then I made: # freebsd-update -r 8.0-RELEASE upgrade All went good, except the message, that because of MYKERNEL kernel configuration I should upgrade my kernel before "freebsd-upgrade install". 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. Thus I decided to upgrade all except the kernel and then rebuild the kernel (that worked good while upgrading 7.1 -> 7.2). I made as mentioned in hanbook: # freebsd-upgrade install # shutdown -r now # freebsd-upgrade install 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. Thank's in advance for your help. _______________________________________________ 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"
