I cvsup'd RELENG_6_2 last time, rebuilt the kernel with KERNCONF=GENERIC and now with KERNCONF=TAO. My new /boot/kernel/kernel is > 7.4 megs and it *hangs* part way up. I've tried building with the new GENERIC and with TAO that has only two devices added. One is atapicam, the other is cpufreq (just now added). The old kernel is around 4 megs. My last try is RELENG_6. No diff. I've done this scores of times; this is the first time I have been this wedged in building the kernel. Can anybody give me some clues regarding what is (or *might* be) going on? The only suspicious thing I see at the start of the boot that hangs is the mention that "AUTOLOAD failed" ... gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
