assuming you read the handbook on updating the kernel http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
, UPDATING in /usr/src ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src/UPDATING , and completed a make and make install in your kernel compile directory, you should be able to use it. before you waste time rebooting 1000 times, check the file size of the new kernel and the old kernel to see if it changes. also, look at the make files to see what's happening when you run certain targets. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of kai ouyang Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 12:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How can I use my kernel on DP2? Hi, everybody, I found a very strange thing about kernel on DP2. I do not know why I compiled my kernel, but I can not boot with it? Current# uname -a FreeBSD Current.wtwh.com.cn 5.0-DP2 FreeBSD 5.0-DP2 #1: Sat Nov 16 13:38:33 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 When The box reboot, I explicitly do as follow: ?unload ?load /boot/kernel/kernel ?boot But the result is the same!!! Why?
