Hi Andrew

And thanks 

I compiled the new kernel as root.

I have room for the new kernel.
/dev/da0s1a     49583    20405    25212    45%    /

<snip>
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  1994136 Apr 20 23:07 kernel*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  2236663 Feb 15 22:08 kernel.GENERIC*
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel       85 Apr 20 08:47 kernel.config
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  1994136 Apr 20 16:30 kernel.old*
</snip>

I can see the new kernel, but look at 'dmesg'


root@grunt/#dmesg 
dmesg: kvm_read: kvm_read: Bad address


and in '/var/log/messages'
<snip>
Apr 21 07:45:36 grunt /kernel: The Regents of the University of California. All
rights reserved.
Apr 21 07:45:36 grunt /kernel: FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 15 11:08:08 GMT
1999
Apr 21 07:45:36 grunt /kernel: jkh@usw3.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC
</snip>


I have make over 100 kernels with no probs but this is hmmm mad.


Keith

"The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."

**  The thing I like most about Windows 98 is...
**  You can download FreeBSD with it!
