Run mergemaster *before* you reboot! - aW Things like /usr/bin/top which read kernel variables is a good example of something that is going to break. Rather than a new kernel and old world why not do cd /usr/src make buildworld && \ make buildkernel KERNCONF=mykernelconf && \ make installworld && \ make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernelconf && \ reboot ... run mergemaster after the reboot Assuming all the makes suceeded the machine will reboot with a matching kernel and world. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
