And, sorry to sound even A "make world" doesn't update the kernel sources. It's only used to compile & install the O/S and utilities. As was suggested you need to use either CVSup or CTM to update your sources (This also updates the kernel sources). Since you are using CTM, check ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD and download any newer CTM deltas that are available. > slower than usual, but... what are the kernel sources?

Thanks, > The kernel sources are the entire /usr/src/sys tree (in your case /usr/src/3.0-STABLE/sys) and are used to compile the "/kernel" program, that is need to run your system. It doesn't matter if you use GENERIC or GENERICupgrade to configure the kernel build. I usually, make a copy of the GENERIC*, and remove (usually comment out) the devices that I don't need.
