GENERIC98 kernel file Reply-to: chaos@tgci.com X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.54) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe questions" No one's responded to the below and I'd really appreciate a pointer to *any* docs or comments on the subject of GENERIC98. I've compared GENERIC and GENERIC98 and they're different enough to make me wonder what to use in which circumstances??? I see that my first impression that GENERIC98 is for wd/scis drives was in error. Is GENERIC98 for newer machines? It wouldn't seem so from the list of CPUs. Thanks for you time, Riley ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- I'm building a kernel for the first time on 2.2.5-R and ran across the GENERIC98 kernel config file. A quick search of the Freebsd website and mail archives didn't turn up anything on this. Should I use this file or GENERIC as a template? The 98 file states it's for "Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family *disks*". It looks like it means *controllers*? A pointer to docs or suggestion about which file to use would be appreciated. Pentium class. I'm running Seagate ST34572Ws on a 2940UW. I'm basically just setting up/configuring it as a mail server right now prior to putting it in production. I'd like to use ccd for mirroring. After it goes live using a different processor/board combo I'll build another kernel for it. Thanks, Riley
