I have a system which - feb 2010 : first install (with 8.0-RELEASE (using generic kernel)) - 19 feb 2010 : updated to 8.0-RELEASE-p2 - 25 feb 2010 : I made a Custom kernel (enabling disk quota) then a /boot/kernel.old was created (the original generic kernel) At that time I ought to have renamed /boot/kernel.old to /boot/GENERIC but forgot it - 1 jun 2010 : updated to 8.0-RELEASE-p3 ( this was an sec.update without changes to kernel files) The latest sec/update (8.0-RELEASE-p4) was released yesterday During the night via cron job # freebsd-update fetch was performed Today, I executed (too hasty..) # freebsd-update install Only after that, I remarked that on another system, with a generic kernel, the mail message about the -p4 update mentionned changes to /boot/kernel/kernel and /boot/kernel.symbols. Normally, on this system, if I did have a directory /boot/GENERIC, I would have been warned in the mail , on this system, I guess, that /boot/GENERIC/kernel and /boot/GENERIC/kernel.symbols were among the changed files, but didnt get that warning because I have no /boot/GENERIC directory. Correct ?' What is the best thing to do now? I renamed /boot/kernel.old to /boot/GENERIC and ran # freebsd-update install once more, but it just simply says: No updates are available to install How can I achieve that /boot/GENERIC/kernel and /boot/GENERIC/kernel.symbols are replaced by what it should be for 8.0-RELEASE-p4 ?
