Something has changed in an odd sort of way since I did my last kernel install (Apr 1) and today. Normally, I do cvsup make buildworld make installworld mergemaster check my kernel config files against changes to LINT and/or GENERIC config -g Kernel cd compile/Kernel make depend all make install reboot. This time, it all went without errors but the kernel generated would not boot. It got loaded by the BTX loader, the kernel booting countdown went to zero, then nothing - no message, no activity, no nothing. Reset switch the only way out. Fortunately, the old kernel.GENERIC would boot. Phew! I had to do a 'config -r -g Kernel' and rebuild the kernel from absolute scratch before I could get a bootable kernel. It seems something in the kernel sources changed but in a way too subtle for make depend to discover... Greg.
