Normally, installkernel moves your old kernel to kernel.old, removing any previous kernel.old, then installs the new kernel as kernel.; > The next step was to be "make installworld" but I have not done this in view of > the earlier errors. No, the next step is to reboot to the new kernel you just installed. You really haven't given us a lot of information to go on. Knowing exactly what commands you run, and seeing real error messages would help a lot. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
