How can I do that? If I'm reading OLDCARD correctly, it references GENERIC; so if you're still using a GENERIC kernel, you can: #unless you're the only user on a standalone pc, boot into single user #login as root cd /usr/src make clean make buildkernel KERNCONF=OLDCARD make installkernel KERNCONF=OLDCARD shutdown -r now Best of luck, Andrew Gould
