God. Once a year I decide to party (I'm not a big drinker) and everybody's a critic :-) I better amend this with reality, hadn't I? The ethernet card's a CNet Pro100, uses the ax0 device. I still get that "link_elf: symbol splimp undefined" error during boot, and the CNet card's not recognized. The previous 11/15/99 kernel used no modules (kldstat says so), and I added nothing new to the config, just changed one "disk" to device, and took out the following lines that config complained about (and weren't in GENERIC): controller cia0 controller apecs0 controller tsunami0 controller lca0 controller tcasic0 controller tc0 controller tcds0 controller ioasic0 I'd had these in before because they were in GENERIC, now they're gone. If I'm loading a kld on startup (the boot loader says no) then I am not sure how to check further. The only problem I see with the new kernel is the splimp thing (which means no network card). While I wait for responses, I'm going to re-cvsup and build me a new kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, New Year's Resolution: I | electronics, communications, and will not sphroxify gullible| signal processing. people into looking up | I run picnic.mat.net: FreeBSD-current(i386) and fictitious words in the | jaunt.mat.net : FreeBSD-current(Alpha)| dictionary. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
