o Move to recommending the {build,install}kernel targets for updating from
older versions of FreeBSD. o Continue to document the old way of doing it with a warning stating if that doesn't work, to do the {build,install}kernel thing. o minor wordsmithing on what a make world really is.

To build a kernel
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
Update config, genassym and go:
|
||||
config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [1]
|
||||
cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
||||
make depend && make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
[1] If upgrading, add -r won't hurt and sometimes helps.
|
||||
If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
|
||||
a few days old), you should follow this proceedure. With a
|
||||
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
|
||||
make buildkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
||||
make installkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
||||
|
||||
To rebuild everything
|

---------------------
|
||||
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
cd src/sys/{i386,alpha}/conf
|
||||
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE [1]
|
||||
cd ../../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
|
||||
make depend
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
[1] If in doubt, -r might help here.
|
||||
|
||||
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
