This worked very well to get a bootable kernel, even if it was compiled for a 386. With LVM loaded as a module, it didn't like not being able to mount my various partitions. So, I recompiled as a 586 with LVM in the kernel and it booted very well. I've made a copy of the working kernel and am recompiling as a K6-2/K6-3, with a lot of the devices removed that I know that I don't have. When that completes, we'll see where the smoke rises....<grin> I've made copies of all the working config, so I can always go back to where I've been. > > If this works, then you know that there was a problem with the kernel you compiled. > BTW, > what did you have CHOST set for in your /etc/make.conf?
