Yes, I got the same error and fixed it by adding an: echo >> vers.c to the file "newvers.sh" in /usr/src/sys.386bsd/i386/conf. After this, my GENERICISA make runs without a hitch. Unfortunately the others ( LARGE, SMALL, etc ) still don't make, often the machine works for quite a while then just zones out and hangs. However the GENERICISA is fine....one kernel is better than none. Many, many thanks to Terry for the patchkit it works beautifully even for those of us who aren't C hackers. -ks
