In any case, just removing COMPAT_FREEBSD4 is bogus because kern_sig won't compile until you add NO_COMPAT_FREEBSD4. > > > AHC is out until somebody can make it a module for alpha. > > > It was so since November 3rd. Are you testing with old sources? No- I was keeping fairly up to date. But I wasn't checking all of the other changes as they came in. I see that there is *something* now. When I've proven to myself that it'll actually work, I'll put it on the driver disk. > > You also seem to have removed the tun(4) and ch(4) drivers, without > mentioning.

That'll go back on floppy 3.

Yes, well, I notice that JHB added both isp && mpt as modules. But they haven't had any testing yet. When they actually are tested and shown to work, I'll do the right thing at least for mpt and add it back in. > You also did not mention that isp(4) is now back in the kernel, which > is great. Well, it really needs to be until isp as module is proven to work. Generally speaking, the common drivers that would be needed in most cases *should* be statically compiled in. That would be sym, isp, if_de, miibus/if_dc. Unfortunately, they can't all fit. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
