Wade Hampton Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2006 9:18 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: cvsup and amd64 Greetings to all, I'm running a dell 1501 laptop with amd64x2 processor. I got a disk from a guru specifically for this architecture, booted it, and installed 6.1 via FTP. Yesterday I ran cvsup successfully. Today I did "make buildworld" successfully. Now, I have a little paranoia about "buildkernel". Please tell me, did I need to specify anything specifically about the amd64 architecture when running cvsup? Did I possibly get a GENERIC kernel file through cvsup that is not compatible with amd? ********************************************************************** Sorry for the horrible formatting, but for reasons beyond my control, I only have access to Microsoft Outlook right now. It appears no one has answered you yet, so, to alleviate your fears, yes, unless you've changed the kernel in any way (and it sounds like you haven't), a simple make buildkernel and make installkernel should work just fine. Reboot afterwards, and you should be running the new kernel. The only reason you would *need* to make a change would be if you're running dual processors or you need to customize the kernel for performance reasons. Otherwise the GENERIC kernel will suffice.
