Hi all!

I just finished a binary upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 from the iso and all =
went well! Now, I'm trying to recompile my kernel and I'm having a =
problem. When I run /usr/sbin/config <myconfig> from within =
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf, it returns ../../conf/files: coda/coda_fbsd.c =
must be optional, mandatory, or standard. When I look in =
../../conf/files, I see that there are many lines with "count" in place =
of "optional". My assumption is that I missed something when updating my =
sources, since I've never seen this before.

My CVSup file requests the following sources:

doc_all
ports_all
src_base
src_include
src_lib
src_sys
src_sys_crypto

I'm not a kernel guru; usually I just remove the lines for drivers I =
don't need from the conf file and recompile. I don't know what the files =
in ../../conf are and I would also like some pointers to documentation =
about them. I read the man for config and it was completely unhelpful. =
Also, the FBSD Handbook doesn't get into that much detail about kernel =
recompiles...=20

Thanks for any help!
