Upgrading Freebsd 7.3 to 8.0 error

[sniper007]

Hi guys!

I upgraded my freebsd 7.3 to 8.0 but in last step i had some problems. Installworld process completed successfully than i tried to run mergemaster but error appears:

Then i just reboot and freebsd boot up normally and works all fine. Please let me know if i need to run mergemaster now and how to do that? in single user mode ?

Try running mergemaster again once the system is fully booted. You can run it as many times as you like.

I wouldnt ignore core system binaries core dumping because thats what I see in your screenshot, the command ln crashing.

I'm guessing that's either because he ran installworld without running installkernel, or he had some bad CFLAGS set in make.conf(5).

It might end up being easiest to boot from the livefs and rescue everything from there.

I did this and now everything works OK

I ran installkernel before i boot to single user mode
