Just to make sure, I go to /usr/src make make install shutdown -r now I mean building new kernel should happen prior to reboot? Also, I have always used: make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Are the commands make and make install equivalent to make buildkernel and make installkernel?
