Ok, I've copied the Linux /mnt/bin to /mnt/brand and branded them. And running the branded version (again from ext2fs) produces the same panic. It's not a branding issue. I asked about this on -emulation several months ago. Except for static binaries, branding has not been necessary for quite some time. For dynamically-linked binaries, the Freebsd loader can identify the binary type from how the binary asks to be loaded. You can even mis-brand binaries, and all you'll get is an Abort trap, certainly not a panic. No, I don't think it's a simple misconfiguration problem. I've run the Linux versions of emacs and netscape, and everything runs fine as long as all the files are on UFS. But moving the binaries to ext2fs produces a panic. --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
