The complaint was: kernel: Invalid format! 1. If it was unsupported, then should the makefile probably warn that it is invalid to change the format? 2. When do we plan to support elf format in the kernel? Thanks >How-To-Repeat: config a kernel of your choice in 3.0, cd /sys/compile/Myourkernel> edit the Makefile and replace 'aout' with 'elf' in KERNFORMAT? flag and compile (make clean; make depend; make; make install) >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
