Re: 2. 9 Kernel Compilation Problems

["Alex Le Fevre" <alex_(_at_)_schnarff_(_dot_)_com>]

Strangely enough, I'm getting new errors on my other (production) box when I 
try to complie the new kernel there. After once more scrupulously following 
procedure (with, once again, the sudo exception -- does that matter if I'm 
already logged in with "su -"?), and using the generic kernel, I'm now 
getting: 

rm -f bsd
ld -z -Ttext E0100000 -e start -x -o bsd ${SYSTEM_OBJ} vers.o

*** Error code 1 

Stop in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MYKERNEL (line 596 of Makefile). 

I'm a little mystified at this point. That source was freshly CVS'ed not a 
half-hour ago, so it should be A-OK. Any idea what my problem could be? 
Might it be a better idea to just buy a CD and go from that source?
