I used the freebsd-update tool to apply binary security updates. This upgraded my system to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2. Since I wanted the ULE scheduler, I tried downloading the source files using sysinstall by selecting the components. For the install media, I selected "Install from an FTP Server". Selecting any server from those listed gives the following error: Warning: Can't find the `7.0-RELEASE-p2' distribution on this FTP server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any"). Would you like to select another FTP server? I have already tried multiple ftp locations, but always get the same result. Am I missing something here, or do I need to downgrade to the old kernel if I need to compile a custom kernel. Output from `uname -a`: FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 7.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Jun 18 06:48:16 UTC 2008 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 With regards Amitabh
