Yeah, bingo! :-) My friend on IRC confirms that 'gzip'-ed kernel on HDD doesn't boot. gzip's compression level doesn't matter; gzip -9 kernel (the same option of boot floppy's kernel) and gzip kernel (no option) is the same result. I've swapped kern.flp's /boot/loader (actually kgzip-ed loader(8)) to older one, and it works perfectly. All problems are in loader(8). loader(8) uses libstand, and libstand have a part of libz code. After importing new libz, something goes wrong with libstand. Anybody know typical pitfalls of using new libz? I've seen some commits for adapting the new libz, but sorry I forget what they were. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
