ADDENDUM : LC_TIME and STABLE..
I forgot to mention guys.. I have not yet built and installed a 4.0-STABLE kernel yet. The kernel is still 3.0-RELEASE. Thanks, -rs __ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!

Re: ADDENDUM : LC_TIME and STABLE..
Sigh.. grr. I did read the file, but missed that little stipulation. I guess it's too little too late now... 'make depend' for the kernel failed.. sh died with SIG 12. I rebooted the box and I can't even enter single user mode now. I get another SIG 12 when I try to enter /bin/sh for the shell. Then I'm asked to enter the path again. No shell.. no access. Any ideas or should I scrap the install, wipe the disk, and start clean?

Something will get figured out. It always has in the past. I've always appreciated the effort of you, Jordan, and everyone else in keeping this project going. I have scarcely found myself able to contribute due to either a lack of coding ability, or time, or both... I find that regrettable and I am working to change that.

Aye.. I did miss it. But something I did not miss was a message that was sent out by someone yesterday referring to the "breakage" in the present tense... as in things were still "broken." Ambiguity is not a good thing. I will probably need to pull most of the src tree in order to go STABLE from 4.0-RELEASE and that is a seven hour download across a 56K dialup connection... a significant investment of time.

I overlooked the fact that a tree sync need not be an all or nothing venture. I'm grabbing them now. -Richard __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Assembler probs and 4.1-RELEASE...
Hello everyone, I saw a message posted earlier regarding assembler problems while compiling BIOS code either during a kernel build or a Buildworld. I too am having such a problem. I was attempting to build a kernel and got some spam regarding invalid assembler instructions while dealing with a file in /tmp. I apologize for being vague, but it's currently hard to grab a dump of the output for the email. I figured I had run in to a bad install when I put 4.0-RELEASE on the system, so I CVSup'ed using RELENG_4 and built the world, which succeeded. The ensuing 'buildkernel' failed for the same reason. I thought that, perhaps, my NOVA conf file was wacky so I ran 'buildkernel' with GENERIC and it died too for the same reason. *Shrug* I'm at a loss. I initially did a binary only install of 4.0-RELEASE and have since added the additional distros such as the name pages and documentation *before* trying to go STABLE. I figure I somehow mangled something and am considering a full reinstallation but I am curious about the impending rollout of 4.1-RELEASE. Since I have not seen a code freeze initiated yet, is that still "a ways" off? If there are any suggestions to help me deal with the apparent assembler problem I would appreciate them before I wipe the install, which I'll probably do anyway because I planned out the filesystems wrong... doh!

I'm going to CVSup, buildworld, and buildkernel again tonight *without* the quotes to ensure I did it right. I am doing this on a 336MHz Celeron. I did a clean upgrade to STABLE from 4.0-RELEASE on my DX4/100 box and I did use the quotes without difficulty. -Richard __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

They create an oscillating EM field that could corrupt data. Hold a fan next to your computer monitor and watch what it does. *ripple* *ripple* 8-) I did know a guy who ran some air conditioning ductwork down and taped it to the side of his box.

I did a successful upgrade from 4.0-RELEASE to STABLE on the DX4/100 just last week. The changes to binutils had been committed for some time I believe. -Richard __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

nlist - REHASH
All, I have been carousing the mailing lists, both -stable and -questions, and I have not found a definitive answer for this problem... PROBLEM : top (among others) is broken after going to STABLE. I know this is a FAQ. What is the preferred method for fixing this? Should I implement the patches referred to by : http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/152/2000/5/0/3727446/ or should I fix the loader? What is exactly wrong with the loader and how is it fixed?

For sake of clarity, the procedure I followed was.. cvsup cd /usr/src make cleandir make buildworld hacked /sys/i386/conf/NEBULA from GENERIC make buildkernel KERNEL=NEBULA make installkernel KERNEL=NEBULA cd / chflags noschg kernel chflags noschg NEBULA mv kernel kernel.orig mv NEBULA kernel chflags schg kernel reboot to single user make installworld mergemaster cd /dev sh MAKEDEV all reboot multuser top: nlist failed All of this completed yesterday with no difficulty. Now... is it preferred to apply the patches or mess with the loader? If the loader is the problem, what needs to be done? -Richard __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
