https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235627 --- Comment #2 from freebsd@dreamchaser.org --- I may be confused, as I have not needed anything other than the generic kernel for some time. What I remember is that various kernels could be kept at the same time in /boot; and the generic kernel initially appeared there as one of them. So if one had only the generic kernel installed, it would be present as /boot/GENERIC. I could be wrong here. At the moment, my actual kernel is in /boot/kernel/kernel; there is no kernel at all in /boot, as indicated by the doc. I have another kernel in /boot/kernel.old/kernel Both of these are generic kernels, but one of them is the initial one and the other is one with binary patches applied as a result of the update process. I don't know if there is a way of telling if they are actually generic kernels; certainly not by name. There is nothing in the /boot tree named GENERIC. Since I'm not building source, /usr/obj is empty. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
