In message <Pine.BSF.4.21.0005311822060.18628-100000@freefall.freebsd.org> Kris Kennaway writes: : Then perhaps you'd like to include instructions for overcoming the : in_cksum problem people have been seeing? :-) I don't know why they are seeing it. Here's what I did just now (well, it has been running a while, it just finished): setenv MAKEOBJDIR /tree-sloth-disk/imp/obj cd FreeBSD/4x/src cvs update -PAd -r RELENG_4 (grab sources as of at least May 30) make buildworld make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC I would suspect that if I were to install the kernel, frob the /dev entries, etc that I'd have a bootable 4.0 system. But since this is our main disk server, my boss would get annoyed with me for doing that :-). Since the kernel and the modules built w/o a problem using this sequence, I would recommend it to everyone. In fact, I think I'm going to tweak UPDATING to read: make buildworld <follow directions to build/install a kernel> cd /usr/src/sys/modules make install cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod make install <follow rebuild disk /dev entries above> [1] reboot Rather than the current order, since I know that this works. It also puts the system in an inconsistant state for a shorter period of time since the modules are installed just after the kernel, rather than before the build of the kernel starts. Comments?
