Are there any specific things to be aware of when compiling kernel and making world in 64bit? Required kernel modules etc? I sometimes forget that the kernel config is in cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ and not cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ ... so I will be editing the wrong kernel config file, rebuilding, and not understanding why the changes are not reflected in my kernel as loaded. But other than that and a little longer build times, all is pretty much the same Just to be clear, you have an existing 64bit 8.2 system you are just updating to stable right ? ---Mike > > I've only done this in 32bit. > > Thanks! > Andreas > > --- > Mvh/Rgds, > Andreas Wideroe > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
