Some details HW 486 Micronics Mother Board 8 MB RAM Connor Peripherals HDD ~ 400 MB (FreeBSD only) Has hosted 2.00 for 18-24 months as a terminal server faultlessly 2.7.1 Installation ftp from ftp2.au.freebsd.org via Ethernet/firewall (also FreeBSD) upgrade installation performed faultlessly ie /etc/resolv.conf preserved perl, expect, tcl binaries still execute The error loading kernel if_ether.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment if_ether.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment if_ether.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment if_ether.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment if_ether.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment ip_input.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment ip_input.o: Undefined symbol `_inet_ntoa' referenced from text segment userconfig.o: Undefined symbol `_strncmp' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 History Previously attempted to make a custom kernel with options COM_MULTIPORT and sio2-5 and sio6-9 (AST compatible mutiport 16450s) the result was much the same (ie the same undefined symbol as well as one for _sio??) so I /usr/sbin/config GENERIC cd ../../compile/GENERIC make produced the failure. Please let me know what to do. I use this terminal server to host an expect script that monitors an X25 switch for idel international data calls our mainframe doesn't clear properly. Thank you very much for a great product. Thank you for your encouragement and earnestness to see that a useful stable and powerful product is not swallowed by vapour-ware.
