This allows the user to keep their GENERIC kernel up to date as a backup while not influencing their "regular" kernel. It also has the benefit of moving the old kernel.GENERIC to kernel.GENERIC.old during the 'make install' step. >How-To-Repeat: Track a -stable release, have your real kernel blow up, have kernel.GENERIC not work because it's too out of date. :) >Fix: Apply the following patch: Index: GENERIC =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v retrieving revision 1.249 diff -u -r1.249 GENERIC --- GENERIC 2000/03/21 17:00:58 1.249 +++ GENERIC 2000/03/23 07:47:11 @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ maxusers 32 #makeoptions DEBUG=-g #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols +makeoptions KERNEL=kernel.GENERIC #Remove this line to build custom kernel options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
