If it is = incorrect, what else needs to be done ? >=20 It shouldn't be a problem unless you updated your userland when you made the new kernel. As long as the kernel and userland are from the same release branch, you should be fine. If it doesn't work, you can always boot with the working kernel again and change everything back (information on this ca= n be found in the handbook). -- Andy Miller --sfyO1m2EN8ZOtJL6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA2OJS7Gy/m4mCrLkRAn9eAJsHjZGNWZT+OInelsQU8Id7yklbKgCdHkjq WFQPu/pAYcu80akfgJ2gFlY= =vvtP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sfyO1m2EN8ZOtJL6--
