And, sorry to sound even >slower than usual, but... what are the kernel sources? Isn't the thing The above does update the kernel sources but it does not build a new kernel. The kernel sources are in /usr/src/sys or equivalent. You need to use cvsup (or equivalent) to update them. Also, you must build your kernel seperately from 'make world'. >that matters the file I make from GENERIC? (Actually, after running make >world I got a file called GENERICupgrade, and used that... does that This file is _only_ the config file. It tells the config program how to prepare the kernel build. You must then cd to the build directory and make depend; make; make install. There are good instructions for this in the handbook. Concepts in case I wasn't clear earlier: make world is seperate from a kernel build. make world is seperate from fetching the latest sources. The kernel config file is _not_ the kernel source code. The source is in /usr/src (yours is a bit different) Kernel source is in /usr/src/sys (yours is a bit different) Also a bit of netiquette, don't cross post your question. I have trimmed out -questions as you were running stable. Catchya Later, | Give me UNIX or give me a typewriter.
