August, I've been following this thread today. It's very interesting. It appears to me, you mentioned your mistake in your first post. "did a mergemaster and didn't accept any changes (it was a fresh system) rebooted and logged in" Without accepting those changes, you kept what you had. It wasn't a fresh system and needed the information from mergemaster. If you didn't clear out /usr/obj, it might be possible to rerun mergemaster and accept the changes. I would keep MYCUSTOM somewhere other than /root/kernels. Personally, I use /home/save4rebuild, and keep a copy of everything else I think I might need. I've had to reinstall /, /var, /tmp, /usr, but I always manage to keep /home safe.
