I'm trying some changes to get FreeBSD to recognise my sound board, and I don't want to leave the kernel I just built as the default. I leave /kernel.GENERIC in place but I wanted to delete the new /kernel and rename /kernel.old to /kernel, in other words get rid of the newly built kernel. All three of the files are 555 root wheel, as they should be, but I can't delete /kernel. I even tried to chmod o+w /kernel but I get a message that it is not allowed! And as root, I OWN the **** thing! Why is this happening, and how can I get around it? I was able to do this very operation the last time I rebuilt the kernel on this same release. What is happening?
