Greetings, OS: 4.2 RELEASE. Min. Install, then 'Src/Sys' installed from the Dist files... I'm reading the docs on building a new kernel.. I cp'd GENERIC to FIRE, edited out a few drivers that I was 99.999% sure that I wasn't using.. Everything works, up to the point where I tell it to make buildkernel KERNEL=FIRE Then it says that it can't buildkernel - because, like you said just above, the only file in /usr/src is 'sys'.. No makefile... Ok, so I fetched the /usr/src/Mak* from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-Stable/src/ (or something like that) That left me with the make complaining that /usr/obj/..../FIRE not existing.. Well, /usr/obj didn't have anything in it.. So, I made all those directories... The build still failed... I guess I need to just wipe out the OS, start over, and select 'Kernel developer'.... At least that way, I'll have a chance of building a Kernel.. -Chert PS: At the start of the page on building a kernel, you have the word 'been' repeated: "Note: If there is not a /usr/src/sys directory on your system, then the kernel source has not been been installed" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
