Hi!
I was gone for a while, but now I'm back. I reinstalled my FreeBSD 7.0 system and compiled a custom kernel using the handbook. Everything went fine, but here's what I've noticed after a reboot.
I installed my new kernel like this (sources for everything are already installed on my system):
Code:
# mkdir /root/kernels
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
# cp GENERIC /root/kernels/TSUNAMI_i386
# ln -s /root/kernels/TSUNAMI_i386
--- edited my TSUNAMI_i386 config file here ---
# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=TSUNAMI_i386
# make installkernel KERNCONF=TSUNAMI_i386
After a reboot I've noticed that my FreeBSD 7.0 system is using my new kernel, which I've just built (
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TSUNAMI_i386), but
dmesg shows that
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC is being used.. Is this normal? On my other system with compiled custom kernel dmesg shows my custom kernel..
Why is that? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
