Default custom kernel problem

Hi people,
i have problem and found some articles about that on few forums. On my FBSD 8.0 machine using custom kernel. Binary update have patches for kernel, and install me new generic kernel. I found article from few users who have custom kernel, and read it should download kernel source with cvs. Using cvs i configure all with handbook RELENG_8_0, but when install kernel and run binary update he install again new generic kernel.

From http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...bsdupdate.html

Quote:
Note: The updates distributed via freebsd-update, do not always involve the kernel. It will not be necessary to rebuild your custom kernel if the kernel sources have not been modified by the execution of freebsd-update install.

However, freebsd-update will always update the /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh file. The current patch level (as indicated by the -p number reported by uname -r) is obtained from this file. Rebuilding your custom kernel, even if nothing else changed, will allow uname(1) to accurately report the current patch level of the system.
Conclusion: You do not have to rebuild your custom kernel if the sources have not been updated.

Implication: You have to rebuild your custom kernel if the sources have been updated.

First i run binary update and rewrite my kernel with generic. After downloading source RELENG_8_0, compile and install kernel all is ok. Next time when start binary update i got generic kernel again. Why binary update again rewrite my kernel with generic? Does not equal binary update kernel and kernel compiled from source RELENG_8_0?

Please post the output of the following command:
Code:
 grep '^[^#]' /etc/freebsd-update.conf
The '^[^#]' selects only the lines that do not start with a '#' (comment).

You tell freebsd-update to update your kernel and so it does

I thought that if i compile kernel from source RELENG_8_0 that freebsd-update view that kernel is updated and not rewrite. I do not understand just what is the difference kernel from binary and kernel from RELENG_8_0? I now edit conf file.
