 Hi,
  
 I'm running FreeBSD 5.1 -RELEASE and I'm getting the error in the

 I'm trying to add options USER_LDT so I can install the new Nvidia
 drivers but when I issue:
  
  /usr/sbin/config CUSTOM_KERNEL 
  
  ..I get:
  
  custom_kernel: unknown option MAXUSERS
  
  If I issue:
  
  cd /usr/src
  
  make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM_KERNEL
  
  ..I get:
  
  make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop
  
 I was able to create a custom kernel and compile it successfully after
 I installed 5.1 so what gives?
  
 I've run cvsup a couple of times using the RELENG_5 tag in my supfile
 but it never pulls down any source and I assume this is because there
 isn't a STABLE branch for 5.x yet.
  
 Can someone help?
  
 Thanks

Don't know how much this applies, but I had the exact same error on 4.8
when trying to build the kernel. I would cd /usr/src and execute 'make
buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM' and it would come back with the 'unknown
option MAXUSERS' error.

I discovered that it was my symlink from /usr/src/sys/i386/conf -
/root/conf that was causing the problem. When I changed the symlink so it
was /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/CUSTOM - /root/conf/CUSTOM, the buildkernel
worked.

Not sure if this will help, but it is a thought! Oh, and I would get the
same error when buidling GENERIC because it was in /root/conf, and was
just a symlink.
