Just to be pedantic - this is _not_ a kernel, this is only kernel configuration file (used when you compile kernel). And this config file should be new only if it was modified during your last cvsup. According to FreeBSD's CVSweb: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC?only_with_tag=RELENG_4 # [...] # Default branch: MAIN # Current tag: RELENG_4 # # # # -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Revision 1.246.2.43 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Thu May 23 17:04:01 2002 UTC (4 weeks, 1 day ago) by obrien # Branch: RELENG_4 # [...] So, GENERIC config file in the STABLE branch was last updated on Thu May 23 17:04:01 2002 UTC (4 weeks, 1 day ago). [...] > At this point I would have expected to have an up-to-date GENERIC kernel > to proceed with this step. To have kernel, you should build it. If you want to build kernel from GENERIC config file, you should cd /usr/src and use # make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC command (after buildworld). Then you proceed with make install as described in Handbook. HTH, Igor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
