Yes, you should recompile the kernel after doing a "make buildworld". If you built a kernel before, it was compiled against the old header files and may not correspond with the new userland built via "make buildworld". [ ...example instructions deleted... ] No, try: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL # make installkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL # reboot ...and then, if the system boots, perform the "make installworld" and mergemaster steps as described in UPDATING. -- -Chuck
