Then why not follow my suggestion of _letting_ freebsd-update update the kernel, but _use_ a different one instead which it won't touch? In /boot/loader.conf: kernel="mykernel" bootfile="/boot/mykernel/kernel" Now freebsd-update can happily alter the default kernel without affecting yours. Note that this implies that _you_ have to take care of kernel changes and recompiling if needed. I know, it's just a workaround and doesn't address the problem directly, but it should get you away from any related trouble. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
