Stop In case you never configured and built your own kernel, leave out the KERNCONF=... part. This will build the GENERIC kernel. > There is nothing in the directory (/usr/src). > No makefile only the directory sys. It seems you had problems with CVSup, too. Please post your supfile. Or, more easily, - copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile to your home directory - edit the *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org line to *default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org (Note: this is a german mirror) - as root, cvsup -g -L 2 ~/stable-supfile to retrieve the world and kernel sources. If you got a CD-ROM at hand, install the source packages before that -- this will reduce the download time. > So maybe someone can say me what I am doing > wrong with that buildkernel business... You probably told CVSup to retrieve a nonexistent part of the source. Combined with certain options, this will cause CVSup to nuke the source directory.
