Mmmm.... I decide to repeat the process againt other cvsup mirror but I get the same results: GENERIC file isn't there. 2) I go to FreeBSD CVSWeb , locate the GENERIC file under the 7_0 tag, copy and paste. Yes, I know: a very nasty process. The big problem appears when I try to do 'make cleandir' and others. I get the next outputs: # pwd /usr/src # make cleandir make: don't know how to make cleandir. Stop # make buildworld make: don't know how to make buildworld. Stop # ls -l /usr/bin/make -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 351024 Aug 18 13:19 /usr/bin/make # file /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 6.3, statically linked, stripped ¿?¿?¿?¿ * I reboot the machine (because of I suspect a very weird FS problem), boot in single user mode and do a 'fsck -fy'. Effectively, the fsck(8) found and repair several errors. Epecially, one error claims my attention: SUPERBLOCK. * After the theorical FS reparation I'm again in the point 1. ¿Any clues? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent
