    Ok all,
     
    I've been working on this 4.9-5.x upgrade for over a
    week now, and I'm at my wit's end. I've been doing
    the make -NOLIBPTHREAD=true buildworld, etc.
    Everything works great until I do the make
    NOLIBPTHREAD=true installworld. It ends with the
    error that my kernel is not fresh enough and I get a
    core dump. I've tried a few different things, as
    listed below.
     
    I tried everything suggested by Mr. Stewart by doing
    the following sequence of events:
                1) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true buildworld
                2) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true buildkernel
                3) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true installkernel
                4) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true installworld
     
    I get an error on the installworld about my kernel not
    being fresh enough. So, I try the following:
                1) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true buildworld
                2) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true buildkernel
                3) make NOLIBPTHREAD=true installkernel
                4) reboot system, attempt to load
    /boot/kernel, failure
     
    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Would it
    just be easier to do a binary upgrade via sysinstall?
    Is there a howto somewhere? Once I complete this,
    would it help if I write one?
     
    TIA, I won't have any hair left, soon, and I'm only in
    my early 20's.
     
    Also, does anyone know why my emails continue to be
    rejected from my laptop with the following error:

    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at radicalv.com.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to
    the following addresses. This is a permanent error;
    I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

    <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>:
    216.136.204.125 failed after I sent the message.
    Remote host said: 550 Error: Message content rejected

    Thanks, again, in advance.
