Default 4.5 -current issue

I have been following -current and have run into an issue
when trying to upgrade to the latest.
After recompiling the new kernel and rebooting I get this error

going back the old kernel and this error goes away.


I have always followed
compile new kernel
compile userland

From some googling it seems that my kernel and userland
are out of sync.. however;
Since the 2 are out of sync I am a bit scared to take
the 2 hours to rebuild userland to see if the error corrects itself..

Thoughts.. ?

-current is a moving target. Yes, you are out-of-sync. But ... how old is this elderly kernel? Days? Weeks? Months? Unless your userland issues a new syscall that is not in your kernel, or, issues a new option to a syscall that is not in your kernel, you should not see significant problems. If the older kernel is only days old, then you should feel confident.

Note: right now the ports tree is locked, 4.5-beta has completed, final bugs are being worked on (the src tree is effectively locked except for 4.5-release work), and 4.5-release is within days of being tagged.

Thx for response..
Yes Sir.. -current is always a moving target.. seems like it move faster
only when I choose to update.. ;-)

the new kernel is 4 days old..

So I guess I will reboot with new kernel and rebuild the binaries..
however; this means that I will physically have to be at my other
remote box for the same issue..

Dumb question..
If I rebuild the binaries with the "old kernel" dated Jan 1,2009
then reboot with the new kernel..
Will that work..???

thx rk

Ah. Now I know how out-of-sync you are. There is approximately 2 months between kernels. There were many new features added since 2008.

Maybe. Is your architecture common? If yes ... must you use a custom kernel? If no .... why not grab a recent snapshot kernel and see if it works for you?

I will try the snapshot kernel..
Thank you..

Don't think I have any special hardware but
here is my dmesg

New snapshot gave the same error..

I did try to rebuild the binaries with the new kernel
I had compiled 4 days ago enabled but got an error..
a stop error..

I will download the latest snapshot source and try again..

I don't understand why all this recompiling is needed, just install the snapshot using the snapshot installation file sets.
If you track -current you should be subscribed to the OpenBSD source-changes mailing lists.

Sometimes there is what is called a flag day, meaning a library version is bumped. This forms a major hurdle to recompile your system. Developers know how to deal with us. Non-developers just install a new snapshot from the pre-compiled binary snapshot installation
file sets.

Thx, I will look into this

I really need to get on the mailing lists..

This machine wears a lot of hats , like 3 websites , firewall and smtp gateway for 2 domains...
There is an awful lot of reconfiguring to do when I reload it with a
snapshot..

I have never done an upgrade but if that is the way to go to avoid
all the reconfiguration.. then I am willing to give it a go..
Pardon my ignorance on this one..

No flag days recently. The "Following -current" FAQ lists each and every architectural change, and what to do about it, if you are updating from source..

Roundcat, you may have stated your older kernel was from Jan 1, but the dmesg you posted was built November 18. There have been three changes in the Following -current FAQ since then, but none of those three look flag day-like to me. Flag days require some sort of bootstrap build when updating from source rather than from binaries.

Even so, J65's recommendation -- installing from binary snapshot -- is a good one, as we don't know how many architectural changes you've missed since you first moved to -current.

My bad on the kernel.. I had backed up the kernel the *last* time I tried this
and it was on January 1 and again I tried on Feb 23.

I will go find the info J65 recommended regarding the non-develper path..

Guys.. thanks so much for your help here..

Nothing to look up... all you need to do, each time you want to upgrade -current, is:
  1. Check the Following -current FAQ, noting changes between your previous update and today.
  2. Upgrade to the most recent snapshot
  3. Run sysmerge(8)
  4. Make any manual changes necessary that were not covered by sysmerge -- this should be very rare.
I build from source, because I use a custom kernel, but upgrading snap-to-snap is less time consuming.

Whether you build from source, or use an upgrade cycle, reviewing the Following -current FAQ is mandatory prior to build or upgrade!

Subscribing to the source-changes mailing list is very helpful for -current users. This list gets an e-mail containing the CVS log entry for every patch made to the OS. You may find subscribing to the daily or weekly summary will be more convenient than getting an individual e-mail for every patch a developer commits.

Snap-to-snap use of -current is very popular.

NOTE: During key development cycles, the developers will create snapshots with uncommitted patches in them, in order to have these patches tested by a large population of users. So snapshots are sometimes "beyond" -current.
