Ummm .... there's a new way to recompile the kernel. You should read
/usr/src/UPDATING and follow the new method.
There was an update to the code but that's also noted:
20000803:
The "installkernel" target has changed slightly. Now even if
you override KERNEL e.g. 'make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL'
it will install the MYKERNEL file (built with the buildkernel
target) as /kernel rather than /MYKERNEL. Those who have
updated their /boot/loader.conf files to point to /MYKERNEL
should remove that entry or perform manual rename of /kernel
to /MYKERNEL.
If you're just using 4.1-RELEASE then use this method:
To build a kernel
-----------------
cd /usr/src
# If you have not already done so, please buildworld here
# You will also need to update your config file to 4.0. Usually
# people tend to start with GENERIC from 4.0 and hack from there.
make buildkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE>
make installkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE>
# Verify that the new kernel works, it will be installed as
# /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
chflags noschg /kernel
chflags noschg /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
mv /kernel /kernel.old
mv /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE /kernel
chflags schg /kernel
If you've downloaded something newer than:
To build a kernel
-----------------
cd /usr/src
# If you have not already done so, please buildworld here
# You will also need to update your config file to 4.x. Usually
# people tend to start with GENERIC from 4.x and hack from there.
make buildkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE>
make installkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE>
# Verify that the new kernel works, it will be installed as
# /kernel
