Hello,

I updated src and did a make world. Followed that with

# make buildkernel KERNCONF=SRIRANGAM

Everything compiles fine but when I run


make installkernel KERNCONF=SRIRANGAM

I get the following messages.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Can anyone please let me know what a 'device.hints' file looks like and
attach a small example? This problem comes up even if I compile the
kernel the 'traditional' way.

My weekly.local file looks like this :
