From your mail headers you seem to have a time machine :) o How did you fetch the source? Triple check you have stable, not current. Start from scratch if you have to eg. delete /usr/src and /usr/obj and fetch src again. Don't forget to backup any custom kernel config. o Follow the order in /usr/src/UPDATING. ~line 308 o Check /var/log/messages o Send dmesg and suitable length tail from buildworld log HTH -- ian j hart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
