Alternatively you could set the following line in /etc/make.conf: KERNCONF=ALEX-LAPTOP And then in /usr/src/ you only need to use 'make buildkernel' and 'make installkernel'. > alex@alex-laptop#> cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf > alex@alex-laptop#> ls > ALEX-LAPTOP DEFAULTS GENERIC GENERIC.hints Makefile > NOTES XENHVM > > I'm not quite sure what to expect now. This looks correct. Did you also adjust the 'ident' line in your ALEX-LAPTOP file from GENERIC to ALEX-LAPTOP? I am not sure if the "-" in the kernel name will work. I do remember having problems building a kernel with a number in the name. But this was more then 10 years ago, but I still avoid it and do use only letters. So it is probably better to just use ALEXLAPTOP instead of ALEX-LAPTOP. bye Fabian
