I've observed this when installing on a different system than the build system. I got it after building/installing several times on the build system before trying to installkernel on another system with /usr/src and /usr/obj nfs-mounted. The problem appeared to be that the stuff in the legacy directory under /usr/obj is built assuming that what's on the build system will work under the prior kernel - which is true on the build system but not necessarily on the target system. My solution was to edit (temporarily) /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 to put /usr/bin first in the PATH set up for the reinstallkernel target. That allowed make installkernel to succeed on the target system. Then I rebooted the target and backed out the change to /usr/src/Makefile.inc1, and after that make installworld and mergemaster went fine as usual. I didn't delve deeply enough to figure out what a cleaner fix would be, but this should probably be a PR as otherwise the 5.2 upgrade may be "difficult" for people who build and install on separate boxes. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
