This is a multipart message in MIME format --Boundary_(ID_BuS2c14uvnMT5Cha5Gz5WQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Current problem.............. I have configured a custom kernel using #/usr/sbin/config COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL # cd ../../compile/COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL #make depend #make #make install rebooted....the boot did not recognize my new kernel at boot stage 2 and boot couldn't find kernel or kernel.old Tried "boot COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL" and it couldn't find the kernel I went with "boot kernel.prev" and that still works so I went in and manually copied COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL to /kernel. Rebooted, same story. "boot kernel.prev" still worked. couldn't find kernel or kernel.old. I have also copied /boot/defaults/loader.conf to /boot/loader.rc and tried to change this to recognize the new kernel to no avail. I am convinced that this is not being read as I have changed the default countdown to 6 seconds and this is not being recognized. I was interested in changing the kernel to gain more speed with KDE. Any suggestions?
