Thanks everyone for the info, I clearly didn't read the whole FAQ but only the parts I needed.
The reason I was using 4.9 was because 5.0 i386 didn't boot in vmware fusion 3, it hangs at mtrr. And since I was formatting a CF card from the vm I thought I had to use the same arch as the kernel that will run from it, so I ended up trying on a 4.9. Also the reason I wanted to compile is something I should have stated, there's a kernel config online for pcengines alix boards so I wanted to use it on mine thinking it was better optimized for the tiny board with very few peripherals. https://raw.github.com/openbsd/flashboot/master/PCENGINES I wanted to do a kernel compile from the 5.0 generic system I installed on the CF at first, but I ran out of space before the cvs was even done. So my only option now is to find a machine that can run 5.0 i386, do the compile from there. Alternatively be satisified with a binary install and generic kernel. 2012/1/28 Christer Solskogen <[email protected]> > On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 5:25 PM, Stefan Midjich <[email protected]> wrote: > > So what do I do to get 5.0 compiled? > > > > You upgrade to 5.0 first. > > -- > chs, > -- Hdlsningar / Greetings Stefan Midjich [De omnibus dubitandum]
