It contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of 392302Sluigimajor breakages in tracking -current. Not all things will be listed 492302Sluigihere, and it only starts on Novemeber 18, 1998. If you have an 592302Sluigiearlier version of FreeBSD, you are on your own to get to November 18, 692302Sluigi1998. 792302Sluigi 892302Sluigi19980106: 992302Sluigi Robert was kind enough to make this page to enable people to 1092302Sluigi install the new bootblocks: 1192302Sluigi http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt 1292302Sluigi 1392302Sluigi19980106: 1492302Sluigi When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your 1592302Sluigi /etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for 1692302Sluigi elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with 1743240Sdillon messages about being unable to find library files. 1843240Sdillon 1943240Sdillon19990104: 2043240Sdillon Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in 2143240Sdillon http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html 2243240Sdillon about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions 2343240Sdillon for doing the upgrade. 2443240Sdillon 2543240Sdillon19981230: 2643240Sdillon You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will 2743240Sdillon become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade 2843240Sdillon your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use 2943240Sdillon make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old 3043240Sdillon a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will 3143240Sdillon continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile 3243240Sdillon for more details. 3343240Sdillon 3443240Sdillon19981224: 3543240Sdillon The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The 3643240Sdillon driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change 3743240Sdillon this in your configuration files. 3843240Sdillon 3943240Sdillon Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not 4043240Sdillon configured" at boot time. 4143240Sdillon 4243240Sdillon The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel, 4343240Sdillon with no replacement driver. 4443240Sdillon 4543240Sdillon19981202: 4643240Sdillon New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they 4743240Sdillon aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have. 4843240Sdillon 4943240Sdillon19981201: 5043240Sdillon New user/group added: bind. From src/etc/master.passwd and 5143240Sdillon src/etc/group: 5243240Sdillon % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group 5343240Sdillon bind:*:53: 5443240Sdillon % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd 5543240Sdillon tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin 5643240Sdillon kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin 5743240Sdillon bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin 5843240Sdillon 5943240Sdillon19981118: 6043240Sdillon PAM integrated into the tree.
