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 hi. i have the 2.2.6 cds that came with greg's second edition book. however the kernel source included does not support 3c509B cards(at least it wasn't able to detect it at startup). is there a way for me to compile a 3.0 kernel (using sources downloaded), on a 2.2.6 system? i tried doing it but the config program does not match the config file(new keywords not recognized). i tried tweaking around the file(commenting out those with unsupported keywords), but the compiler stopped somewhere, after issuing warnings of "-a.out option not recognized." does this mean i need a newer compiler? i have read in one of the docs that i have to get the config binary that comes with the version of the kernel sources. is this the only thing i need? i can't seem to find it on the ftp sites since it's supposed to be in the /usr/sbin dir, and i only saw those binaries that go in the /bin. can somebody direct me to the source of the config file? thanks in advance. vince.
