Hello, The version of FreeBSD, which I use, is 2.2.5. Just installed from cd-rom yesterday. The PC is Intel Natoma 440FX-based. There are few problems. 1) XFree86 3.3.1 was used with generic kernel. Also, my logitech ps/2(psm0) mouse worked. The new kernel was built and the it boots fine, however XFree86 3.3.1 refuses to run and says something like "mouse(psm0) failed to load". Reconfigure xfree86 has not been working. I specified "psm0" in the new kernel. Does this matter relates to "profile", "rc", or "rc.conf"? 2) After installation, the pc was rebooted. It prompted to enter the login name. So, I entered "root" and hit Enter. After that, I was not required to enter password! I tried several times with the same result. I changed root password with /stand/sysinstall program. Then, I am enable to enter root password. I do not know the reason. 3) Since the reboot following kernel rebuilt, the root partition(/) is full. DF says that the capacity for / is 104% and -XXX is available. So, I checked the / and found that the new kernel is as eight times large as the size of generic kernel although the new kernel, which I wrote was smaller than "generic" kernel file. When I "ls -l" the directory, the size of the new kernel is more than 9*10^6. As a result of this, running programs is somewhat unstable. The / was assigned 32MB space. I have no clue about how to fix these. Would you please suggest solutions? Thank you in advance.
