Hi all:

I have weird a problem to compile a customized kernel after I used "freebsd-update" untility.

I followed the exact instructions in the "handbook" and for some reasons it stuck with the "GENERIC":

make buildkernel KERNELCONF=laptop

During the compilation, I noticed, instead of using the customized file "laptop->/root/kernels/laptop", the compilation uses the file "GENERIC".

Any ideas why is that?

Thanks in advance!
