As FreeBSD Stable is a continuous development, you have good
chances to
narrow down the culprit by bisecting. The assumption is, one
single SVN
commit broke your functionality and you just have to find out
which one.
Get sources from SVN, then switch to the earliest Stable/7 to
confirm your
assumption ("it broke with 7"). If it works, check out a few
thousand SVN
revisions later, try again. If it doesn't work, switch to an earlier
revision, a late Stable/6. Each step cuts the number of SVN
revisions in
question in half, after some 10 or 12 iterations you're down to a
single
revision.
Having a single revision pretty much directly points you to what
the problem
is. This helps developers very much and with some luck you can
reverse-apply
this change to a more recent set of the sources.
Thanks for the idea! is downgrading possible or will I have to
reinstall?
Downgrading is possible. "make buildkernel", "make buildworld", etc.
