FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 make installworld fails.

[KernelPanic]

I've done a clean install of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE amd64

I did a csup to RELENG_7_0 (to get a security patch as well as make a custom kernel.

I have the following /etc/make.conf:

BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=19200

# Ports options
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr/ports*}
# Disable any and all X11 where possible
WITHOUT_X11=YES
# Ports tend to use apache1.3 without this
WITH_APACHE2=YES
.endif

# added by use.perl 2008-06-10 16:32:11
PERL_VER=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8

This was followed by:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make kernel KERNCONF=mykern
make installworld

This is the resulting error:

Any ideas?

I redid the csup to make sure I didn't miss anything.

You have to install the kernel before world.

make kernel does both a 'make buildkernel' and a 'make installkernel'


I'm not sure what is missing.

btxldr exists:
/usr/sbin/btxld

The btx file exists:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/../btx/btx/btx

boot2.ldr exists:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.ldr

boot2.ld exists:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.ld

boot2.bin exists:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.bin

So I'm confused about what exactly is generating the 'No such file or directory' message.

Really? Must be new with 7.

[cajunman4life]

Just for clarity's sake, try make buildkernel and make installkernel as seperate commands. Humor us.

[ninjatux]

Yeah, I'd like to know as well.

-Os
-fno-guess-branch-probability
-fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-unit-at-a-time
-mno-align-long-strings

your CFLAGS may be good for Ports but not for kernel, try these for kernel:
-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -s

here you can check how to specify diffrent CFLAGS for kernel and Ports:
http://toya.net.pl/~vermaden/text/make.conf

Also, this is the proper schema for upgrading FreeBSD:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make kernel KODIR=/boot/testing
# nextboot -k testing
# shutdown -r now

# cd /usr/src
# mergemaster -p
# make installworld
# mergemaster -iU
// ( if kernel works ok then )
# mv /boot/kernel /boot/OLD
# mv /boot/testing /boot/kernel
// ( else build kernel again )
# shutdown -r now

// ( optional )
# cd /usr/src
# make delete-old
# make delete-old-libs

I was getting this problem a few months ago.
After building world and kernel and installing the kernel I then reboot into single user mode and:

cd /usr/src
make install
make installworld

and all works fine. Have done ~5 rebuild and install worlds using this, and all works fine now...

That worked.

I wonder what is so different from amd64 (which I've only done two installs for) vs i386 (which I've done dozens of installs for) that makes that step necessary?
