Refresh my memory make release with a custom kernel

[Mark Saad]

Hi all
I can’t remember and I havent been able to find the right option to make a release with a custom kernel config .

I did
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=SUPERDOOPER
cd release
make release KERNEL=SUPERDOOPER
make install DESTDIR=/export/build/sd

The resulting kernel was a generic not my custom . What am I forgetting?

I usually run `make installkernel KERNCONF=SUPERDOOPER`, then reboot and
`make installworld` after kernel building step.

|cd release
|make release KERNEL=SUPERDOOPER
|make install DESTDIR=/export/build/sd

That did not work, the resulting kernel was still a GENERIC . For a
work around
I am just going to tar up /boot/kernel into my own kernel.txz. This is
on 11.2-SATBLE/PRERELEASE

There is FreeBSD Handbook chapter :

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/book.html#kernelconfig-building


8.2. Why Build a Custom Kernel?
8.3. Finding the System Hardware
8.4. The Configuration File
8.5. Building and Installing a Custom Kernel



If you search a phrase like the following

freebsd make custom iso image


in the Google , you may find some useful links .



FreeBSD SVN contains directories about how to generate a release ISO .



There is a manual page :


https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?release(7)

*release* -- release building infrastructure

From what I understood from the Makefiles, "make release" will
always build with the GENERIC kernel configuration. There are
basically two possibilities:

a) overwrite GENERIC with your own configuration, or

b) previously run "make buildkernel KERNCONF=<name>", tar the
result from /usr/obj, then build the release, and finally
replace its GENERIC objects with your own ones.

See "man 7 release" for details.
