:Hello all,
:
:I just rebuilt and installed a new world. The following completed perfectly:
:
:buildworld/buildkernel
:installkernel + reboot to that kernel in single user
:installworld
:mergemaster
:
:Upon exiting single user and logging in over ssh (which runs calendar) I
:received the following:
:
:Message from syslogd at mars at Wed Jan 7 22:38:24 2004 ...
:mars Jan init: fatal signal: Segmentation fault
If you didn't reboot after calling installworld I can tell you what
the issue is... it's simple: init crashed because you ripped the
binary out from under it and replaced it with a new binary. The
old already-running init tried to page something in and BANG!
This type of thing can occur after running installworld. This is
why you should always do it on a fairly idle machine, and reboot
after the installworld completes (or maybe after running mergemaster).
