To build a kernel |
106 |
|
|
----------------- |
107 |
laffer1 |
169 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
108 |
laffer1 |
2 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
109 |
|
|
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
110 |
|
|
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
111 |
|
|
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
112 |
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
To test a kernel once |
114 |
|
|
--------------------- |
115 |
|
|
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
116 |
|
|
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
117 |
|
|
debugging information) run |
118 |
|
|
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
119 |
|
|
nextboot -k testkernel |
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
|
|
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
122 |
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
123 |
|
|
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
124 |
|
|
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
125 |
laffer1 |
273 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
126 |
laffer1 |
2 |
|
127 |
|
|
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
128 |
|
|
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
129 |
|
|
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
130 |
|
|
make depend |
131 |
|
|
make |
132 |
|
|
make install |
133 |
|
|
|
134 |
|
|
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
135 |
|
|
|
136 |
|
|
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
137 |
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------- |
138 |
|
|
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
139 |
|
|
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |

|
|
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
154 |
|
|
-------------------------------------------------- |
155 |
|
|
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
156 |
|
|
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
157 |
|
|
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
158 |
|
|
# size. |
159 |
|
|
|
160 |
|
|
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
161 |
|
|
<boot into -stable> |
162 |
|
|
make buildworld |
163 |
|
|
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
164 |
|
|
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
165 |
|
|
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
166 |
|
|
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
167 |
|
|
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
168 |
|
|
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
169 |
|
|
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
170 |
|
|
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
171 |
|
|
<reboot into current> |
172 |
|
|
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
173 |
|
|
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |

To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
178 |
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------- |
179 |
|
|
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
180 |
|
|
make buildworld [9] |
181 |
|
|
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
182 |
|
|

183 |
|
|
<reboot in single user> [3] |

|
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
191 |
|
|
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
192 |
|
|
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
193 |
|
|
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
194 |
|
|
the UPDATING entries. |
195 |
|
|
|
196 |
|
|
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
197 |
|
|
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
198 |
|
|
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
199 |
|
|
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
200 |
|
|
much fewer pitfalls. |
201 |
|
|
|
202 |
|
|
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
203 |
|
|
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
204 |
|
|
system on reboot. |
205 |
|
|
|
206 |
|
|
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
207 |
|
|
fsck -p |
208 |
|
|
mount -u / |
209 |
|
|
mount -a |
210 |
|
|
cd src |
211 |
|
|
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
212 |
|
|
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
213 |
|
|
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
214 |
|
|
|
215 |
|
|
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
216 |
|
|
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
217 |
|
|
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
218 |
|
|
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
219 |
|
|
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
220 |
|
|
for potential gotchas. |
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
|
|
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
223 |
|
|
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
224 |
|
|
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
225 |
|
|
|
226 |
|
|
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
227 |
|
|
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
228 |
|
|
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
229 |
|
|
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
230 |
|
|
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
231 |
|
|
|
232 |
|
|
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
233 |
|
|
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
234 |
|
|
|
235 |
|
|
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
236 |
|
|
cvs prune empty directories. |
237 |
|
|
|
238 |
|
|
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
239 |
|
|
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
240 |
|
|
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
241 |
|
|
|
242 |
|
|
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
243 |
|
|
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
244 |
|
|
warn if it is improperly defined. |
