I found something that looks like a problem but that could be me as well. I have a custom kernel config file named BEASTIE-7.x (I hope there is nothing wrong with that naming as I have used it ever since FreeBSD 3.x). Now after diff-ing the GENERIC with BEASTIE-7x, I decided to edit VIMAGE to "include BEASTIE-7.x" instead of GENERIC. Here is what happens: FreeBSD-7# pwd /usr/home/wash/VIMAGE/src/sys/i386/conf FreeBSD-7# config VIMAGE config: VIMAGE:8: syntax error Alright, I wonder what is happening but line 8 has: include BEASTIE-7.x So I decided to cp BEASTIE-7.x BEASTIE Then I edited line 8 to remove the "-7.x" and... FreeBSD-7# config VIMAGE Kernel build directory is ../compile/VIMAGE Don't forget to do ``make cleandepend && make depend'' Now, again I looked further and I find that the problem actually is the ".x= " in the file name, because "include BEASTIE-7" does not give any error. Maybe it's not a problem at all. It's not a big problem for me, but maybe it's something known/unknown that can be fixed?
