When upgrading across major versions, the new 1936 kernel's configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> 1937 option for existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x 1938 binaries). Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1939 hard to boot to recover. A GENERIC kernel will include suitable 1940 compatibility options to run binaries from supported older branches. | 1934 [8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an 1935 installworld.
