Refer to /usr/src/Makefile's comment header where you will find a short explanation of the different targets. make kernel: This target performs both "make buildkernel" and "make installkernel". It's possible to run this command in multi-user mode and then reboot into the new kernel. It's neccessary that world and kernel are in sync version-wise. make buildkernel: This target builds the kernel, but does not install it. make buildworld: This target builds the world, but does not install it. make installkernel: This target installs the kernel. It can be done in single-user and multi-user mode. make installworld: This is a very special target. It requires that you have booted the appropriate kernel, the ("old") world / OS in single-user mode, and performed basic file system checks manually (as this is not done automatically for single-user mode!). Before and after this step, tools such as mergemaster can (and should) be used. Here's a short summary (from the source mentioned above): # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target] # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -i, along with -U or -F). # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) Also see "man 7 build" for further documentation. So the choice of the correct target and procedure depends on the actual goal you want to achieve. > I'm not sure if it matters but I did 'make buildkernel ...' > before 'make buildworld'.

The build order usually does not matter, but the install order does, and the environment in which it takes place. COmparing your approach with the procedure mentioned above, you can see that it's not supposed to work as expected. Therefore, revise your procedure. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
