Re: make doesn't know how to make KERNCONF
make doesn't know how to make KERNCONF the command i run is: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=MIO where MIO is my kernel configuration file, living at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf Are you sure your conf file shouldn't be in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf ?

I checked them because i were trying to figure out what is happening. I attempted to reproduce the error message you received and could not. This isn't a normal buildkernel make error one would expect to see if the /usr/src makefiles are not correct. You might want to include a lot more information for those reading the list to be able to answer your question. Offhand, things like the Release version, if your src install was done correctly, the architecture you installed (amd64 vs i386) and if you've cvsup'd again since you had the problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
