Aiken" X-Sender: cwaiken@bigdaddy.localdomain To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Kernel Build Question Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I used GENERIC to build a new kernel. I just added this to the end: options EXT2FS options VGA_WIDTH90 # support 90 column modes options VESA I then did: config NEWKERNEL cd ../../NEWKERNEL make depend make make install All went well. And my new kernel boots. Question 1: My original install had a "/modules" directory but my new kernel build renamed it to "modules.old" and installed a "file" called modules. Why a "file" instead of a "directory". Question 2: This may be related to Q1. The end of a dmesg shows: ad0: 8011MB [16278/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad1: 9671MB [19650/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33 acd0: CDROM at ata1-slave using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad1s1a pid 193 (ldconfig), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) ppp0: IPv6 not supported What is the pid 193 core dump error?
