[buug] cvsup problems

(line wrapping problems due to crappy webmail program)

I don't know which instructions you were using to rebuild your kernel, but I've had the most luck with following the ones in /usr/src/UPDATING.  It sounds different than the one you mention b/c I don't think I make installworld in single user.  

Keep in mind that sometimes things break due to code that's checked in and actually doesn't work.  That's the other reason for reading /usr/src/UPDATING - if something is foobar'ed, it'll be there.

The mailing list archives will probably have a message if there is a problem.  Check the list archives for stable at freebsd.org or hackers at freebsd.org.

If none of these suggestions is any help, post a message to questions at freebsd.org.  Someone will probably help you.

HTH,

brian

Subject: [buug] cvsup problems

 Hi,

 This is my first attempt at cvsup.  It went ok for a while.  I 
 followed the instructions at 
 http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=818&page=2 --pretty 
 straight-forward.  Here's the error message I get when I reboot 
 into single-user mode, do fsck -p, mount -u /, and mount -a, and 
 then make installworld:

 mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist - /
 mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist - /var
 mtree: line 63: unknown usr smmsp
 ***Error code 1

 Stop in /usr/src/etc.
 ***Error code 1

 Stop in /usr/src.
 ***Error code 1

 Stop in /usr/src.
 #

 .......

 It does this for about 10 seconds after entering "make installworld".

 What the heck do I do now?

 Thx

 Eric
