Re: Upgrade problem (1.2.x --> 1.3.x)

[Ochronus <ochronus@xxxxxx>]

Thank you all for your quick replies,

Meanwhile I found out that I should do some RTFMing ;) so I did make 
buildkernel and installkernel. Everything went fine, I rebooted, did a 
make installworld, then rebooted again, just to make sure, and then came 
chaos :) I got the login prompt, when I entered the username, It said 
that pam_login was missing, and nothing happened.

Should I rather start with a Preview snapshot iso?

Thanks,
Ochronus
