Upgrading FreeBSD 9.0 to 9.1 using freebsd-update

Re:Upgrading FreeBSD 9.0 to 9.1 using freebsd-update by jonhohle on Wednesday January 02, 2013 @08:47AM (#4996640)

I was upgrading my home system remotely and it didn't come back up after the second reboot. Unfortunately, it's the only host available remotely, and I won't be able to see why until later tonight when I have physical access.

I'm hoping its just something from ports which isn't happy. I wasn't prompted to rebuild, though (the first time I can remember that happening).

I did this:

# freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install # reboot

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1 # freebsd-update install # reboot

# freebsd-update install # reboot

remotely without any problems.

Yeah, after the second (in your case 3rd) reboot, I no longer have ssh access and not enough access to the rest of the network to tell why. I was able to successfully reboot into the 9.1 kernel after the first upgrade/install. It was only the second that didn't work.

Were you upgrading from 9.0 or 8.x?

I thought I had a lead but it would not apply to 9.0...

Did you find out what went wrong?
