Hi, I am a long time user of FreeBSD but have never recompiled my kernel. I am trying to compile a custom 12.1 amd64 kernel with the ability to add/delete EBR partitions, but the online documentation did not help and I ended up losing EBR functionality entirely. The steps I followed were as under : 1) copied [/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/]GENERIC as EBRKERNEL 2) commented out GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT in [/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/]DEFAULTS 3) inserted 'options GEOM_PART_EBR' into my kernel configuration file EBRKERNEL 4) cd /usr/src 5) make buildkernel KERNCONF=EBRKERNEL 6) make installkernel KERNCONF=EBRKERNEL When I shutdown the system and rebooted into the new kernel, the boot process halted complaining that it could find any device /dev/ada0s5 (the EBR partition). What am I doing wrong ? Any help in getting me a good custom kernel with the ability to add/delete EBR partitions would be greatly appreciated. -- Thank you & Regards, Manish Jain
