Heh...it wasn't too hard to figure out what I did. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~[501]> grep REL standard-supfile *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 Aaargh. I upgraded the box and didn't change my src supfile. Fixed now; cvsup to get 5.4 source, new kernel build. Result: FreeBSD oldbox 5.4-RELEASE-p18 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p18 #0: Mon Sep 18 08:39:41 CDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/kernel.2006Sep18 i386 -- Spencer PriceNash [EMAIL PROTECTED] many other addresses http://www.io.com/~spencer many other sites _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
