If you've messed with /etc/make.conf change it back to the defaults! 1. su 2. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 3. rm -r ../compile/GENERIC 4. config GENERIC 5. cd ../compile/GENERIC 6. make depend 7. make 8. make install 9. reboot If you can't get to step 8 you have a hardware problem (or FreeBSD wasn't installed correctly, see step 5 below): (Very Basic/Limited Flow chart) 1. Go into the BIOS and reset everything to their safety defaults etc., repeat generic kernel build and if it's successful... 2. Pull the Mem, Hard drive, etc. clean/dust/etc. Reinsert etc., repeat generic kernel build and if it's successful... 3. Sub Out/Replace Memory, repeat generic kernel build... 4. Wipe (zero out) Hard Drive and Reinstall a virgin copy of FreeBSD 6 from= CD: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc= 1.iso MD5 (6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso) =3D cfe3c1a2b4991edd6a294ca9b422b9d5 Check the MD5 hash before you burn the disc and verify the disc after it's burned. Hit "A" then "Q" for FDISK and Disklabel and Install only the "Kern-Developer" Distribution set, don't install the ports system. repeat generic kernel build... Oh... and run a defective sector scan of the hard drive using the diag disk that came with it, you can find the zero out and diag software on the UBCD CD link below. 5. If you've done steps 1 - 4 and still can't build the kernel your system is broke, I'll take it off your hands if you'd like. :-) Also... you may want to start with step 4 then do 1, 2, and 3. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html
