Sorry for the confusion, my coworker finished and sent the message I started :) > First Advice: don't make changes to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. > Copy GENERIC to some other name and make the changes there. That's obvious. I did it this way. > Second Advice: read /usr/src/UPDATING - you may already know this, > but... - start with the "COMMON ITEMS" section, found towards the > end.

John Murphy wrote he was able to build kernel with my configuration, so it's probably some my local problem, perhaps indeed with file corruption ? If it fails, I will follow your advices.
