Yes. You didn't make (or perhaps install) a new kernel. The kernel you're running is the GENERIC one built by Jordan Hubbard (jkh) as part of the 3.3 release process. You can tell from the above message. The handbook can lead you through the process. Approximately, however, you'd: 1) cd /sys/i386/conf 2) config GENERIC 3) cd /sys/compile/GENERIC 4) make 5) su root 6) make install 7) reboot Once you feel comfortable about that, you might want to customize the kernel for your machine. You can remove all the drivers for devices you don't have, making the kernel leaner and meaner. In /sys/i386/conf/LINT is very well documented kernel config file that will help you understand what lines you'd want in your custom file. You'd probably want to make a copy of the GENERIC file (the one you just built), named something that makes sense to you. Then edit it to delete stuff you don't need, config and make and install.
