As he said "Buildkernel depends on /usr/obj being populated by the buildworld" which disagrees with your statement "[I] don't think I need to do a 'make buildworld' before recompiling the kernel" If you don't want STABLE (god knows why not though), you can simply buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, without installworld, but honestly, why aren't you going to STABLE ? RELEASE is 4 months old. Think of all the commits between November and March. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
