Marcel I MUST preface any comments here with the proviso that I am no expert by any means. In fact I've only just graduated from "virgin" to "newbie" class. But I had a lot of fun recently experimenting with building a kernel. I got a similar message a few weeks ago, and working from my memory only, I think I solved that one by commenting out the "options MATH_EMULATE" line. There will be many much more intelligent users that will correct any errors here, but (again working from memory), I think that line is only needed if your CPU doesn't have a built in coprocessor or there is no other maths coprocessor. But I think it is mandatory to leave in the "device npx0..." line. Checking my config file, the only difference is I don't have the "vector npxintr" part after "irq 13". May I suggest you leave it a few hours to give the people that really understand these things a chance to correct me if I'm leading you up the garden path.
