Upgrading from FreeBSD 6.1-Stable to Latest

Wed Mar 14 18:50:32 UTC 2007

Taking this thread a little further since it is right in line with my todo
list for tonight. I currently have 6.1 installed on a Supermicro machine
with two ata drives. There has been a major bug that causes frequent kernel
panics which started at 6.0. The following build options seemed to help with
quick rebooting and recovery. But of course this week the reboots aren't
going to well and it is definately time to upgrade to 6.2-RELEASE
(RELENG_6_2) in hopes that whatever is causing the kernel panics is software
related and has been fixed.

makeoptions     DEBUG=-g
options         DDB, KDB, GDB
options         INVARIANTS
options         INVARIANT_SUPPORT
options         WITNESS_KDB
options         WITNESS_SKIPSPIN

options         BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER,ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
options         KDB_UNATTENDED

options         QUOTA
options         PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=601
options         TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
options         SMP
options         IPFILTER
options         IPFILTER_LOG
options         IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK
options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options         DUMMYNET
options         IPSTEALTH
options         HZ=2000

#options                RESTARTABLE_PANICS
options         PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME=5

Will some of these options still work with 6.2-RELEASE or should I omit
something here in order to use the 6.2 release properly? I am sure there are
some since I am going from a 6.1 prerelease to a release. I am just not sure
which ones should be omitted. I still want the capability of the machine
rebooting unattended if a panic should occur.

Here is some more info in case anybody sees anything that I don't regarding
those panics. Never a single vmcore so I have found debugging quite useless.
But of course I do understand that I have alot to learn about debugging. Not
my forte.
