It is true. Don't run a kernel and world that were not built with the same set of source code. > Unless there's a note in /usr/src/UPDATING that would apply, one > should expect to be able to make a kernel independently from world, even > after doing a make update and getting fresher sources. Nope. UPDATING is for stuff that would cause trouble when upgrading where upgrading is defined as building a new world and kernel. > I had to do a time-critical install Wednesday night, so I installed from > 4.4-RELEASE floppies, and in /usr/src did a make update && make > buildkernel KERNCONF=taz3 && make installkernel KERNCONF=taz3.

If you CVSup'ed to more recent -STABLE source, you may have problems. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious." Crist J.
