As root, you should be able to build a new kernel in X. What version of FreeBSD are you running? What sequence of commands did you use to rebuild the kernel? If you are unsure of the commands necessary to build a kernel, look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/, part 2, section 5. Read it carefully. What are the last 30, or so, lines of the output? Try: # cd /sys/i386/conf # config -r {kernel name} # cd ../../compile/{kernel name} # make depend # sh # make > /tmp/kernel.make.out 2>&1 # exit # tail -30 /tmp/kernel.make.out And, post the output of the last command. If this sequence of commands DOES NOT FAIL the next command is: # make install # reboot Note: If you rebuild a kernel and boot fails, you can boot kernel.old Install moves /kernel to /kernel.old and then installs the new kernel. So, if the reboot fails, enter kernel.old at the boot prompt. I normally use # make depend && make && make install Look at man sh or man csh for a definition of &&.
