-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Z. Wade Hampton Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2006 9:18 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: cvsup and amd64 Greetings to all, I'm running a dell 1501 laptop with amd64x2 processor. I got a disk from a guru specifically for this architecture, booted it, and installed 6.1 via FTP. Yesterday I ran cvsup successfully. Today I did make buildworld successfully. Now, I have a little paranoia about buildkernel. Please tell me, did I need to specify anything specifically about the amd64 architecture when running cvsup? Did I possibly get a GENERIC kernel file through cvsup that is not compatible with amd? ** Sorry for the horrible formatting, but for reasons beyond my control, I only have access to Microsoft Outlook right now. It appears no one has answered you yet, so, to alleviate your fears, yes, unless you've changed the kernel in any way (and it sounds like you haven't), a simple make buildkernel and make installkernel should work just fine. Reboot afterwards, and you should be running the new kernel. The only reason you would *need* to make a change would be if you're running dual processors or you need to customize the kernel for performance reasons. Otherwise the GENERIC kernel will suffice.

Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ Thank you! Somehow, I got through it today, with SMP working too! I had a little problem with mergemaster, after buildworld, which had a couple of problems that I got around with the make -k argument. Some things didn't get built. Mergemaster rejected some files - /var/tmp/temproot/etc/rc.d/jail /var/tmp/temproot/etc/ssh/ssh_config /var/tmp/temproot/etc/ssh/sshd.config /var/tmp/temproot/etc/motd I elected to merge by hand, just to coplete the process. Now I'll have to learn what it means to merge by hand. Thanks to all who responded with advice and insights. I have now a working amd64x2 kernel and a partially built, installed, and merged world. There are still some strange messages appearing at boot time. That's for another day. Z.

Since you are doing a fresh install, just copy the files to /etc and you should be fine. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

No, unless you tried hard to avoid it, the source tree you downloaded includes the amd64 code, and you'll be building an amd64 kernel from it. Kris pgpGxFfAWh0UG.pgp Description: PGP signature
