Building and installing a new kernel.

[ven]

Hi all,

I have built and installed a new kernel as described here. In the new kernel config file I just commented out the ethernet devices that I do not require.

Now when I do [cmd=]uname -a[/cmd] I see the last line as:

/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

I was expecting to see "MYKERNEL" in place of "GENERIC". Please tell me where I am going wrong.

Is there any way to find out which config file was used to build a kernel?

Thanks.

Did you change the ident line in your kernel configuration file as well?
