[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi all! I just finished a binary upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 from the iso and all went well! Now, I'm trying to recompile my kernel and I'm having a problem. When I run /usr/sbin/config <myconfig> from within /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, it returns ../../conf/files: coda/coda_fbsd.c must be optional, mandatory, or standard. When I look in ../../conf/files, I see that there are many lines with "count" in place of "optional". My assumption is that I missed something when updating my sources, since I've never seen this before. My CVSup file requests the following sources: doc_all ports_all src_base src_include src_lib src_sys src_sys_crypto I'm not a kernel guru; usually I just remove the lines for drivers I don't need from the conf file and recompile. I don't know what the files in ../../conf are and I would also like some pointers to documentation about them. I read the man for config and it was completely unhelpful. Also, the FBSD Handbook doesn't get into that much detail about kernel recompiles... Thanks for any help! -Eric ------------------------------------------------------- arctic bears - the internet - your way. 50000 domain names were reserved today. was yours? domains from US$25/year, name resolution, mail hosting. http://www.arcticbears.com [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3207.2500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>Hi all!</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>I just finished a binary upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 from the iso and all went well!
