Hi,

since last freebsd-update fetch install I always get this message after freebsd-update fetch:

The following files will be updated as part of updating to 9.1-RELEASE-p3:
/boot/kernel/linker.hints

but freebsd-update install doesn't install anything.

Is there something wrong with my system or is this a bug in freebsd-update?

kind regards

Wolfgang

My guess is that there is something wrong with freebsd-update. There is
another thread here one the mailing list. And here is another thread at
BSDForen.de I have started:

I am experiencing the same issue. I am no BSD-expert, but what I found
strange is that if you compile your own GENERIC kernel+modules the
freebsd-update tool tries to update the nfsd.ko module which would
indeed result in a different checksum for nfsd.ko + a different
linker.hints.
