I'm starting to wonder why people continue to drag this message on, it's just astounding.
It's been well explained by many. It should be pretty clear now what you need to do in order to get a kernel working under the condition that either you:
- Are upgrading by source and need to work around older tools that have not yet been replaced by newly built tools.
- Are on an established system and simply building a plain old kernel.
And I agree with others when they say that if you're going to complain about the process, either you need to understand it better, or contribute by creating a new, better process.
What is everybody else missing?
It is neither explained in /usr/src/UPDATING, nor in the above HEADS UP message.
A clear explanation, including all steps, would be helpful. The step missing from the original HEADS UP is you have to move kernel.GENERIC to kernel BEFORE you reboot. This is not done automatically for you.
Just my .02 Euro -Christoph Sold
It doesn't include a list of detailed information, but an exact copy of the procedure actually *is* in /usr/src/UPDATING, including the need to move the kernel from /YOURNAME to /kernel and how to do it. If it wasn't for this info, I know I wouldn't have been able to build a new kernel myself :) Pasted it below:
To build a kernel ----------------- cd /usr/src # If you have not already done so, please buildworld here # You will also need to update your config file to 4.0. Usually # people tend to start with GENERIC from 4.0 and hack from there. make buildkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE> make installkernel KERNEL=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE> # Verify that the new kernel works, it will be installed as # /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE chflags noschg /kernel chflags noschg /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE mv /kernel /kernel.old mv /YOUR_KERNEL_HERE /kernel chflags schg /kernel
hope that helps? --John
