Freshly cvsupped two machines, one built and installed world/kernel fine, the second builds world and kernel OK then gives the following error for make installkernel: su-2.05b# make installkernel cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC; MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj MACHINE_ARCH=i386 MACHINE=i386 CPUTYPE= GROFF_BIN_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/bin GROFF_FONT_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/share/groff_font GROFF_TMAC_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/share/tmac PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/legacy/usr/games:/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/games:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make KERNEL=kernel install You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC. *** Error code 1 It seems pretty self-explanatory, but I've never encountered this before, so have two questions: - Would it be OK just to copy a device.hints file into /boot from another machine? - Could anyone give me a steer on understanding why this happened? TIA Peter.
