I made a standard install of FreeBSD 5.4 with Kern-Developer Full
binaries and doc, kernel source only. I attempted to compile a custom

make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM Then I get the following error:
make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop
I run it from the /usr/src/ directory. The /usr/src/ directory is
empty. Does that mean the source files were not installed?
Could someone please give me any clues as to what I am missing or have
done incorrectly?
The /usr/src/sys directory should contain the kernel source code. Your
claim that the /usr/src directory is empty is strange since you also say
you are compiling a custom kernel. Where is the custom kernel config file
if not under /usr/src/sys//conf?
The custom kernel config file is in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf I did more reading from the FreeBSD website handbook and it said if you installed only the kernel source code that you need to compile the traditional way using:
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/config CUSTOM then change to the build directory
/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM
then run make depend.
All of this worked just fine, but now when I run make install I get the following error message:
You must build a kernel first.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM.
# /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM
What is the problem here?
In that directory, I believe you need to run "make" before "make
install".

Jose,
Delete:
*/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM*
Run:
*config /usr/src/sys/i386/config CUSTOM*
Drop into Single User Mode if possible:
*init 1*
Once in Single User Mode Run:
*mount -a
mount -u
mount -a*
Then *CD* into */usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM *and* *Run:
*make depend && make && make install*
When Complete, restart into your new kernel.
Once rebooted, you can then delete the *kernel.old* directory under */boot* to
free up some space on the */* directory.
Thanks,
Russell
