I have installed 4.5 on my IBM TP and had 0 problems, recompiled several 
kernels using the old method, with 0 problems. 
I recently began building a file server to replace one running SuSE. Install 
goes well, no problems, all my fules copied well, no problems. Have been 
running the server for 10 days with 0 problems. Now I attempt to build a 
cuystom kernel, just to isolate th eprocessor (PP200) and get rid of stuff 
like SCSI and PCMCIA that I don't need. 
I cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 
cp GENERIC /root/kernels/GIZMO
ln -s /root/kernels/GIZMO GIZMO
vi GIZMO (make my changes)
/usr/sbin/config GIZMO
cd ..
cd ..
cd ./compile/GIZMO
make depend (completes error free about 70% of the time, others out error 
code 1)
(if make depend goes I will continue)
make ( always fails, different messages EACH time. Sometimes talkling about 
white spaces in files?, other times talking about invalid pipes, or kernel 
panics?)

Any ideas would be helpfull.

ps I have never run a buildworld, or install world, I'm not sure I'm clear on 
what these are for..


Mike
