I got the sources via FTP: src-2.2-08* from ftp.freebsd.org, and src-2.2-800xEmpty from ftp.unicamp.br i did not get it via cvsup! So i did: # cd /usr/src # rm -fR * # ctm -v -v /usr/ctm/0800/* # make buildworld;make installword # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # config <my_kernel_config_file> # cd ../../compile/<my_kernel_config_file> # make depend;make;make install # reboot That's what a did. Is there any error?
