I recently slipped the same CD into an older AMD k7 box, and performed an install && cvsup. I then promptly cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf && cp GENERIC CUSTOM. edited CUSTOM to taste, cd /usr/src && make buildworld; wait _hours_. Then performed: make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM which produced ERROR: Missing kernel configuration files. Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. Looks like I got bit by: 20100502: The config(8) command has been updated to maintain compatibility with config files from 8.0-RELEASE. You will need a new version of config to build kernels (this version can be used from 8.0-RELEASE forward). The buildworld target will generate it, so following the instructions in this file for updating will work glitch-free. Merely doing a make buildkernel without first doing a make buildworld (or kernel-toolchain), or attempting to build a kernel using traidtional methods will generate a config version warning, indicating you should update. So I performed: make kernel-toolchain, and tried again. STILL no joy. So I tried: To build a kernel ----------------- If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just a few days old), you should follow this procedure. It is the most failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld, make kernel-toolchain make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE STILL no joy. Looks like I need to purchase a special kernel unlock key to build a kernel. :( Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris
