Hello there, Here is another more generic suggestion and explanation I received from Jeremy Lea and which works fine (posting this from a shiny new FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Dec 23 18:22:32 CET 2001): <snip> If this is the most serious problem that you've had then you're doing very well. This is an expected error message. First off, the simple fix, so you can start it before reading the rest of this explaination... do a make buildworld first: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel mergemaster make installworld make installkernel A change was made in how the program config handles the kernel config file (you can now set MAXUSERS to 0, which means autoscale). When this sort of thing happens the 'version number' of config is bumped, and you *have* to have a new copy to build the kernel. If you do a buildworld, then the new copy from the temporary build tree is used rather than the installed copy. </snip> thank you for help and advice, later, ulf -- gpg public key at http://www.keyserver.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
