I've been searching the web site for info on compiling and using a new kernel. I'm finding plenty of info but its somewhat confusing as this is my first time to try to compile a new kernel. I've read the handbook sections for compiling a new kernel. At first I read the handbook that came with the install and the entry for compiling and installing a new kernel I thought said go the make buildkernel, make installkernel route for 4.0 and up period. I tried that and make buildkernel failed with errors. I also tried the GENERIC kernel just to make sure it wasn't MYKERNEL even after getting a diff and checking for typos. I read more and thought that was for upgrading only and tried the config, compile, make depend, make, make install process. The compile failed. I read some more and found make buildworld to be done before doing the make buildkernel, make installkernel. So, I tried a make buildworld. That caused the system to reboot about an hour into the build. I've read README, UPDATING, and the Makefile in /usr/src, the handbook, and the faq. I'm sure I'm missing something as the handbook on my system is an older version than the version on the web site. I've searched the mailling lists also but still I'm missing something somewhere. So, whats causing my makes and build to fail or reboot my system? Any ideas? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.
