Just curious. Sorry for the confusion, my coworker finished and sent the message I started :) > First Advice: don't make changes to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. > Copy GENERIC to some other name and make the changes there.

John Murphy wrote he was able to build kernel with my configuration, so it's probably some my local problem, perhaps indeed with file corruption ? If it fails, I will follow your advices.
