Okay... this doesn't change anything. (First off, I don't have a directory
called /usr/src/usr.sbin/config, but I assume you mean wherever I have the
source code - in my case, /usr/src/3.0-STABLE/usr.sbin/config.)
The error message when I type "/usr/sbin/config [kernel]" says, "WARNING:
version of config(8) does not match kernel! Config version = 300009,
version required = 300007". I'm guessing this means that perhaps config is
okay, but the kernel version is too old? Does this make sense? How would
I fix this? Thanks,
