kernel build failure
I am running 5_8_release amd64 platform on virtual machine
The procedure I followed to download source tree: Code:
$ cd /usr to follow -stable Code:
$ cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -rOPENBSD_5_8 -P src Code:
$ cd /usr/src/sys/arch/$(machine)/conf $ config GENERIC $ cd ../compile/GENERIC $ make clean && make [...lots of output...] # make install Code:
cmp -s bsd /bsd || ln -f /bsd /obsd cp bsd /nbsd mv /nbsd /bsd Could something have gone wrong while downloading source tree? |

And?
What is wrong? Actually I don't see anything unusual. Makefile for "make install" command saves older kernel as a backup as /obsd. Newer is /bsd. If one would reboot and /bsd is fine, he/she will boot system with newer kernel. If something goes wrong, that person could manually type path to /obsd and will boot system with older (compiled earlier) kernel. |

I wasn't sure. It's been a while for me, but I am starting to get back into it. I appreciate your input. |
