Hello,
My question concerns booting new kernel in 4.0 version of FreeBSD.
I've built a customized kernel and everything was going fine so now I
have new kernel in / directory
as well as kernel.old & kernel.GENERIC(actually they are the same ones).
But after shutting down the system I'm not able to boot with my new
kernel. I get the message:
"Invalid format"(of kernel I guess). So I type /kernel.old or
/kernel.GENERIC and the system loads
this old kernel. Now I deleted the new(customized) kernel and copied
old kernel.GENERIC to
/kernel file. But I get the same error message!!! It seems that system
agrees to load only
original kernel.GENERIC and kernel.old files, even now when /kernel
file is the same as
kernel.GENERIC and kernel.old.
I work for several years with 2.XX versions of FreeBSD and have never
encounter such problem.
Please help me with advice how to solve the problem.
Thanks,
Igor Ignatovich.
