Hubbard" Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Please don't send messages like this to *every* mailing list. You only tempt people to ignore you completely, as I myself almost did (but you caught me in a generous mood this time). You've probably screwed up your kernel config file - are you sure you haven't removed something from GENERIC that should really stay, like your npx device or something? Have you looked around to see where hw_float is defined in the sources? If you're going to compile your own kernels then *some* skill is definitely expected and you should start with a GENERIC kernel and then slowly change it until you figure out where you've introduced the problem. Finally, I have no idea whether or not the Infomagic CD even *works*. It's not my CD, I had nothing to do with it, most of us have never even seen one! It's also really old, as we've released 2 CDs since 2.0!
