freebsd stable - Aug 2003 - un-stable to build a stable machine

i trust i am still new in freebsd, after go through all mail and book, now seem
to be more close, i got 3 server and a notebook to play with, install no
problem. cvsup not problem.make buildworld not problem. make build kernel
become,every machine i got different error code 1,=20
1-one got system full=20
2-one showing this sometime=20
>
anyone know the best way to be one time success,not to try number of time,
should i post my dmesg and custom kernel here=20

Well, a discussion of code 1 doesn't mean much. It is the error that 
causes the code 1 that you need to post. Most of the kernel errors are 
identifyable from the error messages but your kernel config will 
certainly help.

I always want one that I have built and then doing the buildkernel and 
installkernel is just a continuation. I like to build it because it 
stresses the machine a little bit.

I don't know how to answer this one. When you boot on a GENERIC, you 
have an idea. The rest I get from reading GENERIC and the hardware 
references. I don't think anything that you do new can be 100%. You are 
too likely to make a simple typo to preven the 100%.

You have to uncomment the "options 	SCHED_4BSD		#4BSD scheduler" to
get
rid of the sched_* messages.

I couldn't see anything that would cause your problem. It almost sounds 
like your /etc/fstab entries and your HD fs structure is different. I 
also don't have any systems that use scsi anymore and wouldn't know how 
the kernel affects scsi boots.

Some times you have to take little steps in going from GENERIC to a 
custom kernel. Then, when you make a mistake, you can back out the 
error easily.
