Solved Binary upgrade from 10.3-RELEASE-p11 to 11.0-RELEASE fails

L

Lyubomir Rusev

Team,

After doing binary upgrade from 10.3-RELEASE-p11 to 11.0-RELEASE my system fails to boot.
I'm using the standard
#freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE upgrade

It seems I'm hitting the errata notice published in FreeBSD-EN-16:18.loader
I'm using ufs partition with 512-byte sectors, my system fails to mount /root at
/dev/ad4s1a

The only option is to reboot it with kernel.old back to 10.3-RELEASE-p11
I've noticed the following interesting fact: It's stated just before the list of 45000+ files to be updated that the system is going to be upgraded to 11.0-RELEASE-p2. However after the first execution of
#freebsd-update install
and before
#shutdown -r now
I was able to identify the newly installed kernel version to be 11.0-RELEASE-p1, affected by the FreeBSD-EN-16:18.loader errata.
I've identified this by executing
#strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep RELEASE

I'm wondering whether the binary upgrade process is still to be fixed in order to install 11.0-RELEASE-p2 kernel directly.

Please advise!
Thanks.
 
Could you divulge some more details about your setup?
1. What hard drive arrangement (single drive, RAID type, etc.) / partitioning scheme do you use?
2. What hardware do you have?
3. Etc.?
Knowing more always helps :).
 
Hi,
My setup uses a single SATA hard drive (Western Digital 160GB).
Please find the partition info and dmesg outputs below:

Partitioning and /etc/fstab look clean. What error message pops up when you mean "my system fails to boot"? Finally, are you booting in legacy BIOS (CSM) mode or UEFI mode?
I noticed that dmesg mentions that the processor is an Intel Atom. Not sure whether this might a problem or not.
 
I'm using the legacy BIOS mode.

Apologies, can't paste the output from the not fully booted 11.0-RELEASE system, the last output where it freezes is something like:
Code: 
Trying to mount root from /dev/ad4s1a

After pressing any key it goes to a mountroot prompt where an attempt to manually boot fails again. Please note again I'm not pasting the actual output here, just manually writing it by memory:
Code: 
mountroot>ufs:/dev/ad4s1a rw
 
Just would like to add: Intel Atom 330 works fine with 10.3-RELEASE-p11, although I haven't checked whether this CPU might not be supported in 11.0-RELEASE. I honestly doubt this might be the case. My suspicion falls at 512-byte sectors' size on my HDD and the related FreeBSD-EN-16:18.loader errata.
 
I'm wondering about the device name (ad4 vs, ada0) and how/when the ad4 legacy name is set up during the boot process.

from ada(4)
kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases

This variable determines whether /dev/adY symbolic links are created,
which tries to mimic old ata(4) numbering. Set to 1 to enable legacy
aliases symlinks, 0 to disable. The default is currently enabled.
Click to expand...

I would try to boot using the native device name, ada0s1a ...
 
Thanks ASX,
This machine has been initially installed with 10.0-RELEASE, then sequentially binary upgraded to 10.3-RELEASE (now with p11). No special boot device handling manipulation has been ever made.
I'd like to better understand - how should I try to boot using ada0 ?
Should I manually edit /etc/fstab
by replacing ad4 with ada0 and try to reboot the existing 10.3-RELEASE-p11 ?
Isn't there a risk of no rollback? What my options after possible failure would be?

I guess you can use that prompt to check/set the device to boot from:
lsdev should provide you a list of bootable devices.
At the prompt you could try something like:
Code: 
mountroot>ufs:/dev/ada0s1a rw
and no, there are no risks, because it is however a temporary setup.

After booting, I guess that the symbolic links to ad4 will be in place, and no fstab changes are required.

If booting from ada0 will work you will need to change some loader config file to make it permanent, I'm not 100% sure which one, because I'm using grub to boot, possibly loader.conf
 
The compatiblity links are only a minor annoyance if you're using UFS, with ZFS they may change the device names shown in the pool and that might cause some problems.
 
All,

This is to confirm
Code: 
mountroot>ufs:/dev/ada0s1a rw
was successful. After this I've edited
/etc/fstab/
and replaced all ad4 entries with ada0 and rebooted in 10.3-RELEASE-p11
The binary upgrade to 11.0-RELEASE was applied successfully.
It appears 11.0-RELEASE can't work with the legacy /dev/ad4
No ad4 symlinks are created pointing to ada0

Thank you all! The issue is fixed.
