I can not install a kernel update. More properly, I can not issue a "chflags noschg /kernel" while in multi-user mode. If I go to single user mode, it works properly. The error is "Operation not permitted". I have several other 4.3 boxes that do not exhibit this symptom. This box is going to be administered remotely, so I can not properly support it if I have to go to single user mode to update the kernel. Hardware is an old Gateway PPro motherboard. On-board IDE is disabled, Promise ATA-66 PCI card installed. Adaptec 1540 running the CD-ROM. Intel In-Business NIC. dmesg boot output follows: Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
