Solved make buildkernel always build GENERIC

Use the "new" way, it's not really "new", it's been around for as long as I can remember. Add KERNCONF to installkernel or else it's going to install GENERIC. Also check the 'indent' line in your kernel configuration.

Alternatively, add this to /etc/make.conf:
Code: 
KERNCONF=HP240G4
Now you don't have to keep adding it to buildkernel/installkernel.

The syntax of the command should be ok. Specifying that in /etc/make.conf is of course more convenient. Have you changed the ident line in the kernel configuration file from GENERIC to HP240G4? I am not fully sure if this makes the difference, but its purpose is to specify the name somehow.
 
I seem to remember adding quotes to a KERNCONF recently. I think it had a dash in it though.
cd /usr/src/
make buildkernel KERCONF="HP240G4"
 
The quotes shouldn't be needed. I only use quotes because I'm building more than one kernel in one go: make buildkernel KERNCONF="MOLLY MEALCUM VBOX GENERIC"
Or in make.conf:
Code: 
KERNCONF="MOLLY MEALCUM VBOX GENERIC"
If you have multiple kernels in KERNCONF they'll all get built in order and the first one on the list is used for installkernel.

Hmmm. What does uname -m say?

i386.


For some reason the command make is Ignoring all of the configuration file in /etc/make.conf.

I need to add KERNCONF to make installkernel KERNCONF=HP240G4

Doing this the kernell is build with my configuration in HP240G4

Thank you to all.
