Thanks for the tip. Can I perhaps suggest that it be added to the handbook in the future? It made me panic, hehe. There's no mention of unload. Just boot KERNEL.old It turns out that a cyrix is a "486 class" (who knew?). I changed it. Do I have to rebuild/install the kernel? Given it's a "486 class" cpu, it gives you an idea of how long that would take ;) Thanks again > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd- > questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Michael Lucas > Sent: February 20, 2002 10:28 AM > To: Sandro Mancuso > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: boot GENERIC won't work, after kernel panic on startup > for new kernel > > unload the old kernel. > > > ok unload > ok boot kernel.GENERIC > > Can you tell me where in the handbook this is? > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2002 at 10:22:44AM -0500, Sandro Mancuso wrote: > > I spent all of last night making a new kernel.
