https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272077 Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |des@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> --- My suggestion would be: - if able to enumerate kernels - initialize the list of kernels to the enumerated kernels in lexical order - if the list of kernels is empty after attempted enumeration - initialize it to getenv("kernels"):gmatch("([^;, ]+)[;, ]?") - if the list of kernels is still empty - initialize the list to getenv("kernel") - else - if getenv("kernel") is in the list - move it to the front of the list I believe this will result in the least disruption for existing setups while removing the annoying behavior of always trying to load a non-existent kernel for users who have KODIR = /boot/${KERN_IDENT} in /etc/src.conf. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
