I recently installed version 4.0, updated it with cvsupit and then recompiled the kernel. After I ran make world and rebooted, I ran into a problem with ps not executing but looking through the mail archives, I recompiled the kernel again and this fixed the problem. Although what's happening now is not very serious, it's annoying. After recompiling and rebooting, I looked at the dmesg output and saw the following: real memory = 268369920 (262080K bytes) config> di sn0 No such device: sn0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. config> di lnc0 No such device: lnc0 Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. etc, etc, etc. While digging around, I found the file /boot/kernel.conf that contained: di sn0 di lnc0 di le0 di ie0 di fe0 di ed0 di cs0 di bt0 di aic0 di adv0 q Does kernel.conf need to have this text in it? Is this file necessary? Can I remove the lines (none of these devices are in my computer) without problems?
