Hi all, So I can get it right in my head (now there's a challenge). The correct steps for building a custom kernel is: 1) update sources 2) rm -rf /usr/obj/* 3) make buildworld 4) edit kernel config file 5) make buildkernel 6) make installkernel 7) reboot 8) make installworld 9) mergemaster Many Thanks Mark. PS: Sorry for sending it twice, I hit the wong button and it was sent before I had chance to finish. ----Original Message Follows---- On Tue, Sep 16, 2003 at 01:55:09AM +0200, Danny Pansters wrote: <snip> > > Not sure about your specific error, but it doesn't appear that you > > are following the directions in the correct order.
