I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 RELEASE. I copy GENERIC, added device pcm, did config -r MYKERNEL, make depend, make, and during make it stops with the following error: @ -> /usr/src/sys ln: @/sys: File exists *** Error code 1 I have no clue why it's doing this. help!! :) Thanks, Ryan Answer: Try: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Beech what happened: > I tried that too.... same error :\ any other suggestions? Make sure your kern_securelevel is set to -1 (see /etc/defaults/rc.conf) Try nuking everything inside your /usr/obj Then do a make buildworld The kernel should compile after that. Beec Quesion: did the make buildworld and installworld... and tried to compile my source again... and still I get the same error :( any ideas?
