Hi, thanks a lot for quick reply. > Did you copy the 6.0 GENERIC config file into the one your buildkernel make uses? No, actually I didn't. From what I could see on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html, I didn't think it was necessary. >> The error when trying to boot the new kernel makes the system reboots after 15 seconds, so I haven't had the opportunity to write that one down. However, the error message from when trying: "unload", "boot /boot/kernel.old/kernel" I was able to copy down in full (see >> bottom). > > You should only load the 5-stable kernel and the boot -s. You have a mixed kernel and userland. You can't expect kernel.old and your > 6-stable userland to work. If I understand you correctly, that would mean that even if I haven't yet done "installworld", my userland is still 6.0? I'm terribly sorry if I wasn't clear on that point. Thanks for the boot command - it worked very well. I thought I'd try to cvsup the sourcetree to RELENG_6_0 instead now, and then try to recompile. Is that a good idea? I was thinking, since installworld hasn't been done yet? Many thanks, Torgeir Hoffmann
