Upgrading 4.5 Release to 4.5 STABLE

Upgrading 4.5 Release to 4.5 STABLE

Post by Dan » Sun, 17 Feb 2002 10:32:43



Hi,

I have upgraded my firewall  using ipfilter with ipnat capablity.
Buildworld process went through smoothly.   But when booting with the
upgraded kernel, booting hangs at the "Local package initialization" ..but
if I hit CTRL-C, it will finish booting and let me log in, without user
intervention, it hangs.

The good part is the firewall allows traffic going in and out, does anyone
know how to get around this problem?

Thanks so much in advance.

Dan

Perhaps you should look at the startup scripts for your local packages. :)
They usually live in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  The rc script attempts to run all
executable files in that directory whose names end with .sh (and it does so
right after it prints the "Local package initialization" message).  It
should take too much trial and error (or observation if you know what
supposed to be running once you've started up) to figure out what the
culprit is.  Then you can delete/disable the offending script/package or
upgrade it to the latest version.  If the latest version still has problems
you should alert the port maintainer.

Thanks John, that was exactly the problem.
