Looks like it was introduced in FBSD7 somewhere. Looks reasonable to split parameters for /usr/src into a different file than /etc/make.conf thanks, Leon pgpvRV7QIQqB5.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you become faced with having to reinstall jot down your current partition sizes and adjust manually making / larger. Since it is full, if you intend to try and recover it will entail deleting something. This could get tricky, especially if the new 'kernel' space is what filled up. This would presuppose that the kernel.old area was already written out successfully. If the machine will not boot successfully with the new kernel it is imperative that kernel.old still be healthy in order to recover. However, if the new kernel does actually boot, with the result being that some modules are missing you may be able to delete the kernel.old in order to buy space. Messing around with this can potentially be problematic, for obvious reasons. A strong 'YMMV' is indicated here. If you can get past that, you may be able to mitigate the / being too small. Place STRIP= -s into /etc/make.conf and WITHOUT_PROFILE= true into /etc/src.conf. The con of this is that you lose some debugging ability. The pro is new kernels will now fit. I have two servers set up this way at home, and one uses 91MB while the other uses 93MB of space. The 91MB one only has a / of 200MB total, and is nearly half empty.

Default labeling and space for rebuilding the kernel.
Hi, if one uses the default labeling with current installer it is not possible to rebuild the kernel (GENERIC). It fails on installing the wlan.ko. Isn't that wrong somehow ? ===> wi (install) install -o root -g wheel -m 555 if_wi.ko /boot/kernel install -o root -g wheel -m 555 if_wi.ko.symbols /boot/kernel ===> wlan (install) install -o root -g wheel -m 555 wlan.ko /boot/kernel install -o root -g wheel -m 555 wlan.ko.symbols /boot/kernel /: write failed, filesystem is full install: /boot/kernel/wlan.ko.symbols: No space left on device *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/sys/modules/wlan. *** Error code 1 regards, Leon pgp1J9IYK1Sgu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi all, So I can get it right in my head (now there's a challenge). The correct steps for building a custom kernel is: 1) update sources 2) rm -rf /usr/obj/* 3) make buildworld 4) edit kernel config file 5) make buildkernel 6) make installkernel 7) reboot 8) make installworld 9) mergemaster Many Thanks Mark.

Rebuilding the Kernel
Hi all, I'm new to FreeBSD and this is my first attempt at building a kernel. I would like to know if I am going about it the right way (and some help on an error message that appears). Below are the steps that I am currently taking. I am following the steps in the Handbook (Cutting Edge & Building and Installing a custom Kernel). Run CVSup and updated my source tree Run make buildworld Run make installworld Copy GENERIC to MYKERNEL Edit MYKERNEL Run make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Run make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Everything works fine upto make buildkernel. If I run this, even on an uneditted copy of GENERIC, I get an error saying: make: don't know how to make uart_bus_pccard.c. Stop *** Error code 2 *** I've entered the error into Google, but it returned no items and I'm at a loss (which isn't difficult). Any ideas on what it's talking about?
