Hello: New to the FreeBSD kernel and I'm investigating a driver problem (wasn't sure what list this should go on). I was wondering how to make a driver statically built instead of a loadable module? Is this an artifact of the driver source build or the generic kernel configuration mechanism via options etc.? i.e. does a driver need to use something different than the bsd.kmod.mk template make file to build a static driver. What I am trying to do is break at attach time more easily than stepping through driver_probe_and_attach()/driver_attach_child() until the attach routine gets called. I realize I can add a kdb_enter() but I was trying to do this on a live system without rebuilding the kernel (I understand this contradicts my first question but I still want to know how to build drivers statically). Thanks! -aps -- "What lies behind us and what lies in front of us is of little concern to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
