These instructions should be changed. Doing 'buildworld' before 'buildkernel' works just fine this time as always, and instructing users to do the opposite will only confuse them. There's nothing in the kernel build that calls statfs64. > However, if I am correctly reading the section quoted from > Antione's message, the problem might be that he did: > > 'make install kernel ...' > instead of: 'make installkernel ...' I assumed that this was a typo in the email, but even if it wasn't, it shouldn't make any difference; since he didn't build a new world, 'make install' will just reinstall the world he already had, and 'make kernel' will build and install a new kernel. It'll just take a while longer than it should. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
