Whereas in the past, it showed my custom kernel config in the above
path. I was running i386 before, does that make a difference? Or did I
miss a step somewhere?
when building and installing, I issued:
'make buildkernel kernconf=ALEX-LAPTOP'
'make installkernel kernconf=ALEX-LAPTOP'
I am not sure if 'kernconf=' will work too or if it needs to be
in uppercase letters. Alternatively you could set the following
line in /etc/make.conf:
KERNCONF=ALEX-LAPTOP
And then in /usr/src/ you only need to use 'make buildkernel' and
'make installkernel'.
alex@alex-laptop#> cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
alex@alex-laptop#> ls
ALEX-LAPTOP DEFAULTS GENERIC GENERIC.hints Makefile
NOTES XENHVM
I'm not quite sure what to expect now.
This looks correct. Did you also adjust the 'ident' line in your
ALEX-LAPTOP file from GENERIC to ALEX-LAPTOP?
I am not sure if the "-" in the kernel name will work. I do
remember having problems building a kernel with a number in the
name. But this was more then 10 years ago, but I still avoid it
and do use only letters. So it is probably better to just use
ALEXLAPTOP instead of ALEX-LAPTOP.
