I've seen a few comments that the -current linux emulator is not working.. Please beware that part of the exec system has slightly changed to support BSD/OS 2.0 executables (yes, they work now), and if you are running a -current kernel, you *really* MUST rebuild your linux (and ibcs2) lkm's! The top of the user stack layout has changed in case you were wondering. I have (over the last couple of hours) configured this machine both for static IBCS2 and Linux emulation, and LKM loaded IBCS2 and Linux emulation. Both are working fine for me. BTW: I've made a couple of changes to support QMAGIC ld.so and libraries. It's not quite right, but I've run the linux netscape and doom executables under QMAGIC ld.so, libc.so.4.7.2 and libm.so.4.6.27 (Note: be extremely careful with the Newer QMAGIC a.out ldconfig and ld.so pair - they will make a MESS of your FreeBSD /usr/lib given the chance...) If you have rebuilt everything from scratch (including a 'make clean' in the ibcs2, coff and linux lkm directories, as well as the kernel build directory) and it _still_ doesn't work for you, please let me know... -Peter
