I happened to comment out the following line from my kernel config file: config kernel root on da0 and after doing a "config", and "make depend", the "make" would fail silently. I guess I really shouldn't say fail, but the prompt would come back immediately without building a kernel, so in that sense it failed. Once I uncommented the config line all was well. Has anyone noticed this before with stable. Removing the config line works in -current. My last cvsup was from May 21st phoenix.cl.msu.edu:jfgreen> what /kernel /kernel: FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #3: Fri May 21 18:27:19 EDT 1999 thanxs ... #;^) P.S. I've also noticed that my kernel is rather large, i.e.: phoenix.cl.msu.edu:ikhala> ls -l /kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8736632 May 21 18:39 /kernel* Is this normal? I ask because kernels on my -current boxen are much smaller even if I staticly link klds and include debug symbols ... :( -- I'Khala ikhala@msu.edu 308 Computer Laboratory ikhala@pager.msu.edu Michigan State University http://www.msu.edu/~ikhala East Lansing, MI 48824 +1.517.355.4500 x.151 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
