The updating procedure I used was gleamed from /usr/src/UPDATING. It advices to at least do a make buildworld before kernel compilation so that all modules are present for the new kernel if new source has been added to the system. After that, I believed it outlined the kernel compilation as this: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL Also, the file then talked about rebuilding the disk dev's and making sure the config files are up to date in /etc and the such. Since I don't have the document in front of me, I may be mistaken. Is there something else in the UPDATING file that you're refering to, or did what I just mention cover the procedures you questioned? >> last amount of info I wrote down: >> >> cc -0 -pipe -nostdinc -I/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOVA/../../.. -I. >> -I/usr/include >> -c /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_symbol.c >> cc -0 -pipe -nostdinc -I/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOVA/../../.. -I. >> -I/usr/include >> -o aicasm aicasm_gram.o aicasm_scan.o aicasm.o aicasm_symbol.o -ll >> /usr/lib/crtbegin.o: In function '_init': >> /usr/lib/crtbegin.o(.init+0x0): multiple definition of '_init' >> /usr/lib/crti.o (.init+0x0): first defined here >> /usr/lib/crtbegin.o: In function '_fini': >> /usr/lib/crtbegin.o(.fini+0x0): multiple definition of '_fini' >> /usr/lib/crti.o (.fini+0x0): first defined here > > This was an actual problem in the sources, but it was only > there for a few > hours.

I'm not gutsy enought to go w/ -CURRENT, if that's what you're refering to :-) And as far as I knew, -RELEASE is the actual release source that gets promoted by FreeBSD.org and pressed onto CD's, while -STABLE is the 'kept-up-to-date' version that's obtainable by updating and recompiling the source (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html) I was presently at 4.1 -STABLE before this, and was going to try out a whole bunch of new servers (samba and some gnome stuff), so I wanted to update the source and rebuild. I knowingly updated just the RELENG_4 branch, so I might have just caught a transitory bug, like you suggested. Thanks for the insight, and if you know of anything else that might help me out, I would appreciate all comments.
