Updating Information for FreeBSD current users
This file is maintained by imp@village.org. Please send new entries
directly to him. See end of file for further details. For commonly
done items, please see the end of the file. Search for 'COMMON
ITEMS:'
20000319:
The ISA and PCI compatability shims have been connected to the
options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI. If you are using old
style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must
include the appropriate option in your kernel config. Drivers
using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with
5.0-RELEASE, targeted for 2001.
20000318:
We've entered the tradtional post release dumping party.
Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the
works. It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel
in sync as kernel interfaces and structures are changing.
Before reporting kernel panics, make sure that all modules
that you are loading are up to date.
20000315:
If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you
need to update your boot blocks as well. 'disklabel -B ad0'
will do the trick. This isn't critical until you remove your
wd device entries in /dev, at which point your system will not
boot.
20000315:
4.0 RELEASE shipped. Please see the 4.0 UPDATING file for how
to upgrade to 4.0 from 3.x.
COMMON ITEMS:
To build a kernel
-----------------
Update config, genassym and go:
config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make depend && make
make install
To rebuild everything
---------------------
make world
FORMAT:
This file contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of major
breakages in tracking -current. Not all things will be listed here,
and it only starts on March 15, 2000. Updating files can found in
previous releases if your system is older than this.
Please filter your entries through Warner Losh (imp@village.org) so
that the style, formatting, etc of this file can be maintained.
