For those that don't remember, I've been trying to build a kernel and world on my Pentium 4 and install it on a 486 but make was calling a bad system call while installing the new kernel. Well the old make was calling the new one in /usr/obj which was compiled for the new kernel. Since I didn't have it installed yet, I compiled the new make for the old kernel and managed to installkernel. I wish I could say that's where the problems ended. When I rebooted to the new kernel, it dumped a lot of information to the screen and rebooted. It was too fast for me to read, but I did catch the last line which said page fault. I set dumpdev in loader.conf but it didn't dump the core. I guess it hadn't reached the point where it could yet. Now I think this is because I'm compiling on a 686 for a 486 because the kernel on the 686 is from the same source code and works fine. I put CPUTYPE=i486 in my make command and even halted the compilation to verify it was passing -march=i486 to gcc. Yet it still page faults... I tried setting NO_CPU_CFLAGS too but same thing. I've been struggling with this computer for about a week now. If anyone can help me get this kernel and world installed, I would be extremely grateful. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
