I did not realize this deleting /compile/GENERIC every built tampered with sequencial kernel numbering. Guess that the file "version" acts like a counter variable. Now I know better.
Went CD release 4.7, applied all the -current.html notes, built kernel, then world. So far so good, anyway, version 4.8 CD coming soon, so I experiment. Perhaps it is why I saw so many warning messages on the monitor. The machine (P4P800) is slow so I have time to read every lines. One notorius one got my attention: --- Warning isc_atomic_xadd defined but not used Warning isc_atomic_store defined but not used Warning isc_atomic_cmpxchg defined but not used --- So I decided to look into the file to see what was causing the warning: /usr/src/urs.sbin/bind/lib/isc/x86_32/include/isc/atomic.h The 3 functions above are defined TWICE! Wonder if it is good programing practices? Not my bag of expertise for now... Regards CF
