I had a box like that once what I did was, check /etc/make.conf for the flags you want/need cd /usr/obj ; chflags -R noschg * ; rm -rf * ; ls -aCF cd /usr/src/ make clean && make clean then cvsup make buildworld make buildkernel installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC shutdown now (single user mode) make installworld /usr/sbin/mergemaster cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make all install clean reboot * Then customize a new kernel to suit your needs and reboot once more. Now that's just what worked for me, might not even be the same problem.
