Hi...
After figuring out that scbus wasn't a known symbol, and
looking through the ncr.c code, I recompiled the kernel using gcc
2.6.3 instead of 2.7.2, and the system is operational again.
That's for the lesson in DDB, since without that, I would never
have figured this out on my own.
One stupid question though...in ncr.c, the "offending" code
was where statements like:
#if (__FreeBSD__ >= 2)
struct scsibus_data *scbus;
#endif
happened. Where its checking to see if __FreeBSD__ >= 2...now,
I realize that if my 2.7.2 was proper, this wouldn't happen, but since
this is 2.1-STABLE, is there a reason why those statements aren't just
changed to
#if (__FreeBSD__)
struct scsibus_data *scbus;
#endif
?
Even looking through /usr/src/current/sys sources, there are
alot of similar #if structs...if there is no reason for it anymore, and
I generate patches to get rid of all that, is there someone I can submit
the patches to in order to get it rolled into -current?
Thanks...
