Not that I ever use those, but with a "MAKEDEV all" at the end of a mergemaster session, the problem is bound to surface. This leads to errors like: dim@tensor:/dev$ sudo ./MAKEDEV all Password: MAKEDEV: arith: syntax error: "à… †È…à…é…ë…î… †" bad node: mknod i4bteld1 I've also seen this problem reported many times on -stable. >How-To-Repeat: cd /dev sudo /bin/sh /dev/MAKEDEV all >Fix: I can't figure out what's precisely wrong with the MAKEDEV script, no matter how long I stare at it. Maybe it'll come to me later. I suspect a bug in /bin/sh or something... However, a fix seems quite easy. Just split the i4btel line in 2 parts, and the problem goes away, at least on my box. I'm not sure why, though. If I figure it out, I'll file another PR. --- MAKEDEV.orig Mon Sep 17 16:56:39 2001 +++ MAKEDEV Mon Sep 17 20:54:11 2001 @@ -330,7 +330,8 @@ sh MAKEDEV apm apmctl card0 card1 card2 card3 # cdev, laptop sh MAKEDEV pass4 xpt2 # cdev, CAM sh MAKEDEV i4b i4bctl i4btrc0 i4btrc1 # cdev, ISDN - sh MAKEDEV i4btel0 i4btel1 i4bteld0 i4bteld1 # cdev, ISDN + sh MAKEDEV i4btel0 i4btel1 # cdev, ISDN + sh MAKEDEV i4bteld0 i4bteld1 # cdev, ISDN sh MAKEDEV i4brbch0 i4brbch1 # cdev, ISDN sh MAKEDEV agpgart # cdev, AGP ;; >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
