Well, turns out that was the answer. I've got to tell you; I've performed _well_ over 1200 build/install world/kernel's over the last 30 years, and this was the _first_ time I've ever been required to do this extra step. In fact, I just finished 4 last week on the same ARCH. The only difference was that I used the 8.0 DVD for the initial install. Everything else was the same. Cvsupping src && ports brought them to 8.1-CURRENT, prior to the build/install world/kern. If I had to guess, I'd say that something changed on the 8.1 DVD, or _very_ recently on src. I didn't see anything in NOTES || README || UPDATING. Well, I _greatly_ appreciate your response, and wish you a _very_ happy new year! :) --Chris > > > -- > Rob Farmer > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > > > -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
