FreeBSD roobar.jmorph.com 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #1: Tu Jul 17 23:26:41 CDT 2001   root@roobar.jmorph.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/ROOBAR	i386
>Description:
I reconfigured the kernel and installed it using "make isntall"
(from usr/src/sys/compile/ROOBAR). I reconfigured the kernel a second
time and got from the make command a:
chflags: /kernel: Operation not permitted
I tried all sorts of commands and variations of chflags, ch*, rm, mv,
etc and with no success.
There appears to be no way to remove a broken kernel from the system.

>How-To-Repeat:
configure a new kernel and build twice with a 'make install' from
/usr/src/sys/compile/<KERNEL-NAME>.  As install sets the schg flag on
the kernel and is unable to undo it.
>Fix:
'chflags noschg /kernel' is not working at all.  Either avoid using the
"make install" or edit the makefile and remove the '-fschg' from the
install commands.  If this is too late, edit the /boot/loader.conf and
add the line: "kernel=<my-new-kernel>".
