I had to completly reinstall FreeBSD =( Then it would be better to get the src directory from the ftp-site and run `sh install.sh sys` to install the kernel sources. You NEVER have to reinstall FreeBSD (if you didn't screw upo the disk layout)!! Reinstalling is a M$ invention. It has it's saying "Never find out what's wrong, reinstall instead!" ;-) -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
