the bottom line is that a problem with the obj tree (i think, but not sure, that something doesn't get deleted properly from previous version) means that yes, you can use KERNCONF=kernelname if you (cd /usr/src ; make kernel) or (cd /usr/src ; make buildkernel && make installkernel) BUT remove any old directories such as /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/kernelname first. I did this, and the build (and every subsequent rebuild) works fine by that method. -Mit -- --- Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe Toronto, Ontario, Canada mitayai@dreaming.org On Mon, 19 Nov 2001, Bjarne Wichmann Petersen wrote: > On Monday 19 November 2001 21:09, Crist J.
