I've read about this, because I've recompiled my kernel already. What I understand is that if the contents of /boot/old_kernel are the original you make a directory named GENERIC and copy the contents of old_kernel into GENERIC. Then it should update okay.

When I boot into GhostBSD the desktop will automount my windows directory twice and also some errors with hal. So I will get scsi meta-data and meta-data. The error with hal is [Cannot mount volume Error org.freedesktop.HalDevice.UnknownError] Also the scsi meta-data drives cannot be opened. The met...

I just compiled my first BSD kernel and not only changed lpt to gen but noticed that vesa is compiled into the kernel. That should explain why I had to go to the vesa driver to bring up X.

I've installed hplip but it tells me I need to compile a new kernel.When I try to do that ( custom kernel ) I'm missing a kernel configuration file. I've tried rebuilding the world and kernel using source code development instructions for 3.5 source. still no kernel configuration file. The message I...
