The goal was to load 4.3-CURRENT. That aint happening! So, I loaded 4.1. I
tried to cvsup to 4.3 and rebuild and install the kernel, that aint happening.
So, just for laughs I loaded 4.1 and without doing anything else tried to build
the kernel according to the instructions in the handbook chapter 9. The "make
buildkernel" errors "Error: subtraction of two symbols in differnt sections
"IdlePTD" {data section} - "KERNBASE" {*UND* section} at file address 1569."
There is a line early in the log that mentions "vm" was not found.
I went back and re-read and tried section 1 method and when I issue "make
depend" it says "make : don't know how to make depend". In /etc i have kernel
and kernel.generic. They are both the same byte size and both have the same
creation date. Even though I went through the kernel configuration section of
the install (14 times today, no lie) it seems that the kernel build fails and I
get a generic. I have exhausted every avenue of research I can find and they all
give the same procedure. It's not working. I have tried every install and
upgrade method available with no luck. Is this typical of a freebsd install????
It makes Solaris look easy and that's a scarry thought!
