I don't think so; I messed up my 3.4 installation (as I thought) when I tried to upgrade to 4.0. Installworld gave me signal 12 thousands of times before I went back to the UPDATING. Thou I had tried to make installworld with 3.4's kernel and also tried to copy old sh to /bin/sh, when the new one gave the signal 12, I was still able to compile the GENERIC. And after a reboot with GENERIC, I could finish the installworld. So if you (Ryan) just have the GENERIC (4.0) around, or are able to compile it, then give it a try before starting it all over again. After you have a working 4.0 system, your custom kernel should also work. @-`--,--`--- Jukka Simila To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
