Do not upgrade. If you must upgrade 13 in the face of this, add 14 /sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio 15 to the start of /etc/rc.conf. Even if you do this, any and 16 all damage to your system is at your own risk. You have been 17 warned. 18 * * * W A R N I N G * * * 19 2020000319: 21 The ISA and PCI compatability shims have been connected to the 22 options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI. If you are using old 23 style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must 24 include the appropriate option in your kernel config. Drivers 25 using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with 26 5.0-RELEASE, targeted for 2001. 27 2820000318: 29 We've entered the tradtional post release dumping party. 30 Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the 31 works. It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel 32 in sync as kernel interfaces and structures are changing. 33 Before reporting kernel panics, make sure that all modules 34 that you are loading are up to date. 35 3620000315: 37 If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you 38 need to update your boot blocks as well. 'disklabel -B ad0' 39 will do the trick. This isn't critical until you remove your 40 wd device entries in /dev, at which point your system will not 41 boot. 42 4320000315: 44 4.0 RELEASE shipped. Please see the 4.0 UPDATING file for how 45 to upgrade to 4.0 from 3.x. 46 47COMMON ITEMS: 48 49 To build a kernel 50 ----------------- 51 Update config, genassym and go: 52 config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE 53 cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE 54 make depend && make 55 make install 56 57 To rebuild everything 58 --------------------- 59 make world 60 61FORMAT: 62 63This file contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of major 64breakages in tracking -current.
