Thank you. Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to say that Mr Doug White has resolved the problem I reported yesterday that after an upgrade from 2.0-RELEASE to 2.7.1-RELEASE, building the GENERIC kerenl failed, and with a note about other make failures. Mr White's suggestion was to . rm -rf /usr/src/sys . refetch the ssys distribution. This worked. When I built a kerbel to support AST compatible multiport (4 x 16450) cards, make failed with undefined symbol _sioi referenced from text segment. This was an error in the kernel configuration file that escaped /usr/sbin/config notice. (Caused by an MS-Windows copy that truncated the right part of lines of text, so that what should have been device sio5 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty flags 0x503 irq 9 vector siointr appeared as device sio5 at isa? port 0x2b8 tty flags 0x503 irq 9 vector sioi ) Thank you very much, S Hopcroft
