Breen >Release: 5.3 >Organization: >Environment: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE >Description: When installing FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE and selecting the Kern-Developer install, which provides kernel sources in addition to the minimal install, there is no Makefile provided in /usr/src. This prevents recompiling the kernel as per the documentation throughout the FreeBSD website. The recommended procedure for compiling a new kernel is to cd /usr/src and run "make buildkernel or make installkernel". Simply adding the Makefile and Makefile.inc from a full-install 5.3-RELEASE machine allows for the kernel to be built and installed. (cd /usr/src && make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO && make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO Cheers. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE from CD Media, install using standard install "kern-developer" (Installs kernel sources only). Once the install is complete, cd /usr/src in order to recompile the kernel. ls -l Makefile. File not found >Fix: Standard install "kern-developer" should add the appropriate Makefile to /usr/src. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
