I think I can add something here... From: "Jonathan Chen" <jonathan.chen@itouch.co.nz> > make buildworld (could take all day depending on the speed of your CPU) > make buildkernel KERNEL=YOURKERNEL > make installkernel KERNEL=YOURKERNEL Reboot into single mode to test new kernel here. If it looks ok, then... # mount -a # cd /usr/src ...to mount filesystems and go to src, then do the following: > make installworld > mergemaster Watch yourself with mergemaster, mainly, configuration scripts you have modified yourself, e.g. /etc/rc.conf and /etc/groups. If you are *sure* you haven't modified a file, then go ahead and tell mergemaster to install it, otherwise leave it for later. > reboot Upon reboot, watch your startup closely and scrollback if need be to make sure there are no errors or any other strange messages. _________________________________________________________________________ Chris Smith American Group Administrators IT Department First National Administrators To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
