Is this mostly a naming > mismatch between old and new version? If I did the job right, the armv6hf binaries will be the same as the new armv6 binaries (with one minor niggle in how the elf files are marked, but that marking isn't used). All the naming mismatches are just in the name. I'm surprised that setenv MACHINE arm setenv MACHINE_ARCH armv6 setenv UNAME_p armv6 make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel make installworld wouldn't work, even if the kernel reported armv6hf (the defines are important but the order of the makes likely doesn't so long as buildfoo comes before installfoo, and rebooting with the new kernel or continuing to use the old one. Unlike the instructions Ian posted, I've not tested this recipie. Works been bumpy lately, so I've not had the time I'd like to pursue this. Warner
