Well, the proper syntax is "make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL".  KERNCONF is
the new variable name for CURRENT, but STABLE still uses KERNEL.

If you still get an error, though, double-check for typos (extra/missing
comment character, etc.) that may not necessarily be on line 65.  Use "diff"
to compare it with a known good kernel config file.  If you still can't find
anything wrong, just start over and make your edits on the most recent
GENERIC.  ;)  I generally do this whenever GENERIC has changed since my last
kernel build anyway.

HTH,
Andy

fails





Hi,

I tried searching the archive of this list before
posting but couldn't find any information similar
to the problem I'm now facing.

I had just installed FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE on my
home PC and had CVSUP'd my ports and then
the source for STABLE.

Everything seemed to go fine with "make world"
and "mergemaster" but when I got to:

"make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL"

It fails with an error that goes something like:

"Error line # 65 in config.  Devices can't use identity of 0....."

I am using a custom kernel, not GENERIC, that I've
recompiled a few times before attempting the move
to STABLE.

I looked at line # 65 of my kernel and also the GENERIC
kernel and it's just the "device   pcm" line.

I don't know how to fix this.  Can someone help me?

Thanks

Joe
