Re: problem upgrading to 2.1 - kernel moved to boot

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:...
: - world was build on other host; /usr/{src,obj} NFS mounted by this host
: - using normal procedure, as described in build(7) failed at installkernel:
:root file system filled up; didn't stop with message that I
:'.. need to make buildworld, installworld, and upgrade ..'
:before installing kernel. sys/conf/kern.post.mk not used?
: - doing `make upgrade' before installkernel works
:
:What is reason to demand `make upgrade' before installkernel?
:
:Couldn't we just move old kernel/modules to boot in installkernel?
:(then we wouldn't need special instructions for vkernel upgrade either)

    We could but it is best to concentrate all upgrade-like activities in
    one place.  Also, the boot code is built by buildworld/installworld,
    not by buildkernel, and it needed to be up-to-date too.
