Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Today I went to an ELF kernel, flawless, 3rd stage boot is wonderfull, many thanks to all involved, great job! I do have one[two] question[s]: *phoenix / $ file /kernel /kernel: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, not stripped _dynamically linked_?? Curiosity got to me so I tried: *phoenix / $ ldd /kernel /kernel: /kernel: signal 6 signal 6 is 'sigabrt'. So my 2 questions are: 1)Why is the kernel dynamically linked, and 2) why can I not ldd the kernel (I coppied the file to another place and attempted to ldd that un-live kernel as well, no dice) -- David Cross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
