I followed the instructions on FreeBSD Hand-Book. ******************************* Procedure 1. Building a Kernel the ``Traditional'' Way Run config(8) to generate the kernel source code. # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL Change into the build directory. This is printed out after running the aforementioned command. # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL For FreeBSD version prior to 5.0, use instead: # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL Compile the kernel. # make depend # make Install the new kernel. # make install Procedure 2. Building a Kernel the ``New'' Way Change to the /usr/src directory. # cd /usr/src Compile the kernel. # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Install the new kernel. # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL ********************************** I have tried both Procedure(2) & Procedure(1). But in Procedure(1) it stops after # make depend & in Procedure(2) it stops after # make buildkernel KERNCONF=KERNEL01 I don't know what other information I should give or how, so I am just psating the last few lines before it stops compiling & my KERNEL01 configuration file. *************************************** cc -c -O -pipe -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -ansi -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I../../../include -I../../contrib/dev/acpica -I../../contrib/ipfilter -D_KERNEL -include opt_global.h -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 setdef1.c touch hack.c cc -shared -nostdlib hack.c -o hack.So rm -f hack.c sh ../../conf/newvers.sh KERNEL01 cc -c -O -pipe -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -ansi -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I../../../include -I../../contrib/dev/acpica -I../../contrib/ipfilter -D_KERNEL -include opt_global.h -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 vers.c linking kernel umass.o: In function `umass_cam_attach_sim': umass.o(.text+0x1637): undefined reference to `cam_simq_alloc' umass.o(.text+0x165d): undefined reference to `cam_sim_alloc' umass.o(.text+0x1676): undefined reference to `xpt_bus_register' umass.o(.text+0x1686): undefined reference to `cam_simq_free' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_rescan_callback': umass.o(.text+0x169f): undefined reference to `xpt_free_path' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_rescan': umass.o(.text+0x16ef): undefined reference to `xpt_periph' umass.o(.text+0x16f8): undefined reference to `xpt_create_path' umass.o(.text+0x170b): undefined reference to `xpt_setup_ccb' umass.o(.text+0x1726): undefined reference to `xpt_action' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_detach_sim': umass.o(.text+0x17df): undefined reference to `xpt_bus_deregister' umass.o(.text+0x17fd): undefined reference to `cam_sim_free' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_detach': umass.o(.text+0x183e): undefined reference to `xpt_create_path' umass.o(.text+0x185f): undefined reference to `xpt_async' umass.o(.text+0x1867): undefined reference to `xpt_free_path' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_action': umass.o(.text+0x1beb): undefined reference to `xpt_done' umass.o(.text+0x1bfd): undefined reference to `xpt_done' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_cb': umass.o(.text+0x1d19): undefined reference to `xpt_done' umass.o: In function `umass_cam_sense_cb': umass.o(.text+0x1e20): undefined reference to `xpt_done' umass.o(.text+0x1e31): undefined reference to `xpt_done' umass.o(.text+0x1e4b): more undefined references to `xpt_done' follow *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL01. # *************************************************** ************************************************************** # # KERNEL01 -- kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/i386 # machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident KERNEL01 maxusers 7 #makeoptions DEBUG=-g #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols #options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] options SOFTUPDATES #Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_DIRHASH #Improve performance on big directories options MFS #Memory Filesystem options MD_ROOT #MD is a potential root device #options NFS #Network Filesystem #options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device, NFS required options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem #options CD9660 #ISO 9660 Filesystem #options CD9660_ROOT #CD-ROM usable as root, CD9660 required options PROCFS #Process filesystem options COMPAT_43 #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] #options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options VISUAL_USERCONFIG #visual boot -c editor options KTRACE #ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM #SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG #SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM #SYSV-style semaphores options P1003_1B #Posix P1003_1B real-time extensions options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options ICMP_BANDLIM #Rate limit bad replies options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT # Print register bitfields in debug # output.

The reason I came to the site FreeBSD.org is because I own 2(100mbit servers) on a windows server and I hate the treatment I get from other people who don't like my business so my friend told me about this other host that I can get myself on a 100mbit for a cheaper price but the thing is they only allow "CentOS" and "FreeBSD" so I ask my boy who knows a lot about computer what I should go with for the FTP and he said FreeBSD . And I like to learn new things if it's about security, reliabilty , speed in my area I want to learn it. I was never taught about "Linux, Unix" and a lot of stuff I really don't know. My point is I know there is got to be a good site where I can post my questions and get some good answers . I am currently 16 and don't know much about FreeBSD but I am willing to learn , proving that I already wrote this much to you because I really care about my members membership to my servers. If you have any points that you could give me it would be helpful. Mostly my ideal of work is in the "FTP File Transferring" Thank You.

I am currently 16 and don't know much about FreeBSD but I The primary means of support for FreeBSD is the freebsd-questions mailing list, accessed in a similar manner to however you accessed this list. You will also find a great deal of Linux/UNIX information directly applicable to FreeBSD, and more applicable with little translations for platform differences, etc. There is a lot of consistency between UNIX variants; shell scripting questions would probably be on topic on most generic UNIX forums, and questions about rc.conf (FreeBSD's "main" configuration file in the /etc directory) might be mildly off-topic or better addressed to a more specifically FreeBSD-oriented forum. http://www.google.com/bsd has a lot of answers. If you're new, it'd be helpful to read the FreeBSD handbook. It'll answer questions you didn't even realize you had yet. It's linked off of http://www.freebsd.org.

If you could post a copy of your xorg or xfree configuration file, that'd help. It's probably that you haven't uncommented one or more of the lines that have to do with 3D acceleration.

It helped make the transition faster and better. But, what really won me over as a newbie was the information that was provided on the freebsd website. The handbook was definitely a good read. I found myself having to go online to read information about the different linuxes I encountered all over. Because most of the linuxes include parts of of their base system which come from all over. In fact when it came to setting up my interent connections, there is no one standard from Slackware, for interent via phoneline, you can use this software, for PPPoE you use this other and so on. But the standardisation done with FreeBSD is a god sent. It helped me get up and started quickly and prevented me from searching through numerous different manuals about how to set up xy and z. I think my learning curve on a freebsd system has been a lot steeper than on any of the previous linux systems simply because everything comes from the same source. That's just good stuff!! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.

It is also available at http://people.freebsd.org/~sue/newbies/fak.html FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. We can help people to use the FreeBSD mailing lists and resources, or to interact more productively with the broader FreeBSD community. These are not support questions, and not technical, so we deal with them here. Everyone can help with these new user orientation requests. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ Mailing list membership To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Use the easy form at http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies to subscribe to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list, or to change your subscription details if you are already a member.

Please try typing "xorgconfig" after logging onto your system. This is a text-based configuration file that will allow you to set up your hardware and tune it for your own use. This configuration file will ask you questions about your hardware and give you a chance to pick an appropriate answer based on what you have installed in your computer. The final question asks if you want the program to write an xorg.conf file to /etc/X11. Please answer "yes" to that question. You can cd to /etc/X11 anytime and edit the the xorg.conf file if necessary. I have a mouse with a wheel. The original probing did not pick up the wheel configuration, so I went into the xorg.conf file and added those parameters to the mouse section. Now, the wheel works fine. FIRST THING TO DO: Look at the Handbook Please look at the FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 5 - The X Window System. The authors have done an excellent job of explaining how to get a desktop working with plenty of examples. Even I could follow it. :-) mike
