I think i managed to do it....at least the uname is showing the 6.3-RELEASE p5, running my custom kernel.... I think i am missing to update the installed ports, but they are working ok, so i will do it later.... The thing was that after the freebsd-update install it wasnt taking the new rel.... it was cause i rebuild the kernel earlier than when the /usr/src files have been updated by the update.... when i rebooted they were updated so i rebuild my kernel according to the new GENERIC and reboot and all was OK :) Cheers and any doubrs just ask....
