If I had to guess, you updated the sources but were only building the kernel. Don't do that. > I dl'd it and i hope it will work if I just put it in it's place. Eek.

How would I build this list, and what > syntax? Let's see. The manual says: MODULES_OVERRIDE (str) Set to a list of modules to build instead of all of them. so I assume it would be something like MODULES_OVERRIDE="amr ccd vinum" > 2) if I use NO_MODULES instead, are there any critical modules I'll be > missing?

[Well, I do it occasionally, but those are cases where I know the source hasn't changed, and I am using config(8) directly anyway.] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
