Subject: booting original kernel
Hi
I am using 4.1 BSD.
Made few changes to the kernel and compiled it. When trying to reboot
using
the modified kernel, it throwed some page faults.
So, i booted using the older config namely kernel.old.
I again made few changes and recompiled the kernel with a new config.
Now, trying to boot the kernel, it neither boots with the latest nor the
older one.
How do I boot with original configuration ??
Regards
Sudheer
From the sounds of it, when you compiled your second kernel your
kernel.old (the original generic kernel) was overwritten by your
broken kernel leaving you with two broken kernels and no working
kernels to boot from. If that's what happened you either need to
reinstall FreeBSD or boot the install/rescue cd and try to copy the
generic kernel from it.
That handbook page has a lot of good information, but most of it is
preventative. The best suggestion is to always keep a working copy of
the kernel seperate from the kernel.old that FreeBSD makes for you.

Isn't there also /kernel.GENERIC that gets installed?
Not on any of the 5.x releases that I've installed, at least not by
default. Maybe other releases?
