What did you do (in details) prior to that?

>> it worked b4

There is no such thing as it worked b4 it's failing now.

all that was installed from cd,
awhile ago. I did run kernel compile b4
trying custom but just ended back at GENERIC which also does not work now

So I
rm -rf /usr/ports
CDrom
install ports
cvsup stable-supfile

so my src is 4.4 while the rest is 4.3

>> all that was installed from cd awhile ago

Oh no... You should never install software from /stand/sysinstall (or initial install). Doing so you will likely end up reinstalling FreeBSD from scratch very soon.

So let's forget about your installed software and upgrade to 4.5-PRERELEASE for now.

>> version of config(8) does not match kernel

This tells me 4.5-PRERELEASE uses a different /usr/sbin/config, so you need to build+update your config. To be safe, build the new config (/usr/src/usr.sbin/config to /usr/obj) and install it to /destdir/usr/sbin/config.

Here's how to do it:
1) mkdir /destdir
2) mkdir /usr/obj (if it already exists, rm -rf /usr/obj and redo mkdir /usr/obj)
3) cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config
4) make obj
5) setenv DESTDIR /destdir (NetBSD uses this alot, very reliable and safe. FreeBSD needs to learn that someday)
6) make cleandir
7) make depend && make
8) make install
9) cd to /destdir/usr/sbin and see if config is there (you will be using this config to config your MYKERNEL)
10) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
11) unsetenv DESTDIR
12) /destdir/usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
13) cd ../../MYKERNEL
14) make depend
15) make
16) make install
17) reboot and test your new kernel, if it fails to boot, reboot to single user mode and boot your kernel.old file.
18) cd /usr/src
18) find . -type l -name obj | xargs rm
19) make cleandir
20) make obj

Then do buildworld. After buildword but before reboot, recompile your kernel again with the new config at /usr/sbin/config (not the one in /destdir this tme).
You know what, you were supposed to follow the Procedure 2. Building a kernel the ``new'' way at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS...g-building.html but it's too late right now.

well I'm ready to reinstall
Thing is I don't know how to dialup
from console so i need KDE at least

Seems like you also need to build /usr/src/share/mk and /usr/src/usr.bin/make as well.

>> well I'm ready to reinstall

Maybe not. As I said, during code freeze period, you shouldn't cvsup your src in the first place. So why don't you just rm -rf /usr/src, /usr/obj, /destdir and /usr/sup. Then install your full source back to /usr/src. Just play around with 4.4-RELEASE for a while would make your life easier. Like I said, when 4.5-STABLE is out, just follow Procedure 2. Building a kernel the ``new'' way.

ok

thanks alot

so right now the src is 4.5 prelease

which is "under construction"

not for newbies possibly much debug

and stable is obviously the debugged tree

how can i check my src version

>> how can i check my src version

/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

Check REVISION and BRANCH. So your src version is REVISION-BRANCH.

You should remove your /usr/src and put your 4.4-RELEASE src back.
