This is the second report of failure with the "3.0-current" sources in as many days. Perhaps we are out of sync with 3.0 enough that we have problems (this happens every so often, hopefully we will be able to merge soon!) Try this: boot the non-SMP kernel change the link for /sys from /usr/src/sys to /<whereever your SMP source tree is>/src/sys ( eg. -> ln -s /usr/SMPsrc/sys /sys ) build an SMP kernel from scratch: config; make depend; make; make install boot the new SMP kernel. remember to change back the '/sys' link to /usr/src/sys (or whatever it was) before asttempting to build non-SMP stuff. I have had this help in the past, it may or may not solve your problems. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
