Did you simply modify GENERIC? or did you create a kernconf with a new name?


what did i do that removed it, so i can avoid (or safeguard against) this
action in the future?

You run CVSup with the `*default delete' option enabled in your supfile.

Keep your kernel config outside the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf tree and
symlink to it every time you build.

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# ln -s /root/kernconf/GIORGOS
# cd /usr/src
# make KERNCONF=GIORGOS buildworld buildkernel
