The method that we brand ELF binaries has changed to be more
|
|
|
|
|
acceptible to the binutils maintainers. You will need to
|
|
|
|
|
rebrand your ELF binaries that aren't native. One problem
|
|
|
|
|
binary is the Linux ldconfig. After your make world, but
|
|
|
|
|
before you reboot, you'll neeed to issue:
|
|
|
|
|
brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig
|
|
|
|
|
if you have Linux compatibility enabled on your machine.

If you have really bad/marginal IDE drives, you may find they
|
|
|
|
|
don't work well. Use pio mode instead. The easiest way to
|
|
|
|
|
cope if you have a problem combination is to add:
|
2000-04-04 17:14:18 +00:00
|
|
|
/sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio
|
2000-05-04 08:02:11 +00:00
|
|
|
to the start of /etc/rc.conf.

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.

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.

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.
