I'm more used to Irix/Solaris/Linux than FreeBSD... I made a little configuration file (copied the GENERIC one, as instructed by the handbook), removed what I didn't need, added a few bits I did need. Compiled it, installed it. Works fine. I then decided I needed some SYSV-style shared memory, so I put the appropriate entry in the file. Tried to compile again (the config program worked, BTW) - the compile failed. Tried again, it failed at a different stage. I decided to boot using my GENERIC kernel. Tried the whole config/make etc process. Still failed. Thought there was a problem with my configuration file, so I decided to just try and compile the GENERIC one (after I'd copied it to another name). It failed AGAIN. So, I am a) Using the standard kernel to boot b) Trying to compile the same kernel and failing but what really pisses me off is that c) It worked the first time I did it. I reinstalled FreeBSD just in case I'd screwed up something. The first time I build the kernel it works. It fails subsequently. Ideas?
