Hi, I noticed this stopped working a couple of months ago. I don't put it in src.conf though - mine goes in make.conf like this: KERNCONF=CUSTOMKERNEL1 GENERIC which means that both kernels would be built and installed with no special parameters to the buildkernel and installkernel commands. Less typing! I first noticed it when after building and installing a new world, the kernel came up with the warning that WITNESS was enabled (it's disabled in the custom kernel). So I had to build and install another kernel with the KERNCONF=CUSTOMKERNEL1 parameter. The problem happened at around the time I noticed GENERIC-NODEBUG appearing in /sys/amd64/conf - though this might be entirely coincidental. This was a month or so ago. I'll re-enable KERNCONF= in my make.conf, run another build and get back to you. -- John tech-lists@zyxst.net
