When I attempt to recompile my kernel under FreeBSD 2.0.5 I get a strange message when I run the config command on the new configuration file (which is called GATEWAY) I created it gives me a message saying: config: wd: unknown device config: line 23: no root device specified I looked where it said that the problem was and had a friend look at it. The configuration file had nothing wrong with it. I eventually found, after hours of searching, that config required the file devices.i386 to run correctly. I did an ls -l in the /sys/i386/conf directory and it said: ls: GENERIC: Bad file descriptor ls: LINT: Bad file descriptor ls: VTCSPC: Bad file descriptor ls: config.core: Bad file descriptor ls: devices.i386:ad file descriptor along with other normal things. I have a backup copy of devices.i386 called devices.i386.orig and tried to copy it to the name devices.i386 so I could recompile my kernel; however, it would not let me. It said "devices.i386: Bad file descriptor". How can I get my system able to recompile my custom kernel. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
