FreeBSD: reverting to previous kernel
Hi all,
I built a custom kernel on my FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE server and it failed to boot. I'd like to revert to the previous kernel. I see the following directories in /boot: Code:
kernel For the sake of clarity: I have figured out how to reboot the old kernel; now I would like to make the reversion permanent. Thanks. |
It should, assuming kernel.old is the previous one. Check this out for a bit more details:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...g-trouble.html not much help now :), but in the future I would save the kernel originally installed under a name you know means something to you. Regards John |
Thanks. I actually checked the Handbook before posting here, but missed that bit.
Perhaps you will know the answer to a relate question. The kernel config file I was using didn't boot, so I went back to GENERIC. The modules igb and bce returned compile errors, so I commented them out. However, I don't know what module failed here: Code:
/usr/src/sys/modules/netgraph/atm/uni/../../../../contrib/ngatm/netnatm/sig/sig_party.c: In function 'uni_sig_party': |
