<snip> Read /usr/src/UPDATING > If i do make installkernel and reboot without make installworld. The > old kernel will be loaded right ? Wrong. The new kernel will be loaded with the old world, which is generally not a problem. You can then do an installworld and mergemaster. This is a generalized statement. I would just add the word "Generally" before the previous quote of Ruben. However refer to /usr/src/UPDATING. The information there always overrides the handbook. For example, updating from 5.2.1 (or lower) to 5.3 first calls for an installworld before the kernel can be built. Trying to rebuild the kernel with buildkernel in an old world would surely fail. These kind of deviations are seen with major changes to the source tree, in this case it's the system compiler upgrade. Regards S.
