I did so, but there is no effect.
Whenever I try to build a kernel/world, I receive this from the shell:
root at localhost: [src] make update
*** Signal 12
Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/src
.ERROR_TARGET='update'
.ERROR_META_FILE=''
.MAKE.LEVEL='0'
MAKEFILE=''
.MAKE.MODE='normal'
.CURDIR='/usr/src'
.MAKE='make'
.OBJDIR='/usr/obj/usr/src'
.TARGETS='update'
DESTDIR=''
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=''
MACHINE='amd64'
MACHINE_ARCH='amd64'
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='/usr/obj'
MAKESYSPATH='/usr/src/share/mk'
MAKE_VERSION='20160606'
PATH='/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin'
SRCTOP='/usr/src'
OBJTOP='/usr/obj/usr/src'
These two machines in question are victims "of the early adopter" - the warning came way
too late! At work, I did the same update - but I did an installworld prior to the usual
installkernel - and everything seems so far to work, even without COMAPT_FREEBSD10 in the
kernel.
Is there a way to salvage the situation without relying on "customized" third party
kernels?
I usually use /bin/csh - so this might be of use.
Thank you in advance for help, kind regards,
Oliver
