Greetings,
I've been running a RELENG_* box for some time now. I recently slipped the
same CD into an older AMD k7 box, and performed an install && cvsup.
I then promptly cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf && cp GENERIC CUSTOM.
edited CUSTOM to taste, cd /usr/src && make buildworld; wait _hours_.
Then performed:
make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM
which produced
ERROR: Missing kernel configuration files.
Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src.
Looks like I got bit by:
20100502:
The config(8) command has been updated to maintain compatibility
with config files from 8.0-RELEASE. You will need a new version
of config to build kernels (this version can be used from 8.0-RELEASE
forward). The buildworld target will generate it, so following
the instructions in this file for updating will work glitch-free.
Merely doing a make buildkernel without first doing a make buildworld
(or kernel-toolchain), or attempting to build a kernel using
traidtional methods will generate a config version warning, indicating
you should update.
So I performed: make kernel-toolchain, and tried again. STILL no joy.
So I tried:
To build a kernel
-----------------
If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. It is the most
failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
make kernel-toolchain
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
STILL no joy. Looks like I need to purchase a special kernel unlock key to build
a kernel. :(
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
