That was needed for a while since the new binaries produced >code the olkd kernel couldn't execute. I am no expert, and I haven't really followed this thread, but wasn't it recommended to: make buildworld make and install new kernel make installworld when upgrading 3.4 to 4.0? Otherwise, (as per the handbook) the order is: make buildworld make installworld update /etc and /dev (and optionally /stand) make and install new kernel Also: FYI, www.freebsddiary.com shows an ordering that puts the /etc and /dev updates (via mergemaster) *AFTER* making and installing the kernel. (I'm not sure if that is correct procedure, or if it matters, but it differs from the handbook) John ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
