Re: building the 5.1 kernel
Thanks for the reply Reply to your comments... MINIBSD - I am presently running regular ole freebsd 5.1. I eventually plan to rebuild the OS for an application. For now it is vanilla flavor freebsd. GENERIC - Agreed if no changes were made the kernel doesn't have to be rebuilt. I used the unchanged GENERIC file to verify the kernel would build before I started making changes. It insures all the files/scripts are in place. Alternative build process: I tried it that way as well. Got the same errors.

Re: building the 5.1 kernel
Andrew, Is there any particular reason you're messing around with 5.1 rather than 5.2.1? Donald J.
