Re: Going back to generic kernel
Hello, My question is how do I switch back to the generic kernel? Many thanks /root/kernels is not booted by default. I doubt this is the kernel that is running. It is as I symlinked it. To run generic again, simply install the generic kernel much the same way you did the custon kernel. cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC That was all that I needed. I just failed to realize I need to compile it one more time and specify a generic one!

My question is how do I switch back to the generic kernel? Many thanks and all the best to you all! If you don't have a copy of your previous GENERIC kernel, you can still get one from the CD. Here is an example, using a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE CD: # mount /cdrom # cd /cdrom/7.0-RELEASE/kernels # ./install.sh GENERIC This will install it to /boot/GENERIC and you can copy it to /boot/kernel if you wish. Or you can use nextboot(8) to boot it once and see what happens. Keep in mind that if you have updated your system (e.g. freebsd-update), this kernel may not be in sync with the rest of the system. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
