It does! I've just compiled a kernel based on GENERIC with these changes and it compiles without problem: #cpu I486_CPU #cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU options EXT2FS options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options MAC options GEOM_BDE device sound One of the error messages you saw said: /usr/src/sys/modules/splash/bmp/splash_bmp.c:60: error: syntax error before "mod" Perhaps that file got corrupted somehow. You could delete the /usr/src/sys directory (after backing up your config file) and re-install the sys source from CD. You could compare it with its CVS Log entries if you can find them, it has moved but there are traces at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/modules/splash/bmp/Attic/splash_bmp.c Or you could simply manage without splash screens for now by commenting out the device splash line in your kernel config. >How can I do recvsup ?
