This is probably a more subtle fix than this, but the following is what finally worked for me: rm -r /usr/obj rm -r /usr/src cvsup /root/sup/conf ln -s /root/BTS /usr/src/sys/i386/conf CAUTION1: This wipes out your kernel configuration. I keep mine in /root all the time (I back up /root but not /usr/src), so I could just re-link it after the wipe (my kernel config is called BTS). If you don't, stuff it away someplace safe. CAUTION2: Without a broadband, this would be tiresome--it causes the entire source to be re-downloaded from the net. NOTE: There is almost certainly a more subtle solution. But if you have a fast connection, just doing the above is probably a lot easier & less frustrating than tracking it down. -- Brian T. Schellenberger . . . . . . .

Re: building kernel problem w/ linux_proto.h
The UPDATING instructions also didn't work for me, though I did this over a month ago. I seem to recall that rm -rf /usr/src/sys/modules/linux /usr/src/sys/compat/linux followed by a cvsup; make buildworld && make buildkernel got things going again. A bit of a sledgehammer, I admit. jay parv wrote: > in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > wrote M.
