If you delete the files in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys* it should revert to #0 on the next build. The reason changing config files works is that it creates a new kernel build directory with the name of the new kernel config file. *Asumming you use the default locations. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Usually I make a new kernel config file for each time I rebuild because I've changed something. This time however all I did was checked out the RELENG_6 code from my local repository for m,y build. I kept my kernel config from my last build.
