Earlier this morning I was trying to compile a new kernel to allow for compatibility with linux and IBCS2. I followed the faq exactly. I placed into MYKERNEL
options "COMPAT_LINUX"
options "COMPAT_IBCS2"
options LKM
options ATAPI
I then executed the following procedure
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
make depend
make all
When I did make all it got to
.<</../ufs/ufs/ufs_ihash.c
and it said it did not know how to make it. I typed again
make all
and it compiled
../../ufs/ufs/ufs_ihash.c
{note: the two files and there paths are not typos but actually when was said the compiler} it went further into the compilation at which time it decided to reboot the system. fsck revealed all sorts of corruption and /dev/wd0a was now unrecognizable and will not boot at all.
What should be done in order to prevent this from happening next time? Is there a safe way to compile this Kernel without it blowing up?
Also I need to know how I can get the system to recognize the cdrom which I have installed. I have tried everything except for successfully compiling the kernel. My cdrom is a soundblaster situated on a secondary IDE interface card. There is no setting on the card itself for making it a master rather than slave drive. The port at which it is located is 0x250. In order to give it this port address I gave the parameter at boot
boot: -c
and then I typed visual and inserted the port address into the matcd0 device. The cdrom is a 2x speed cdrom.
When I was first installing I did the above and it looks like the kernel recognized the cd
matushita/panasonic
but when it came to the install it said no such device existed and I had to eventually install it from a msdos partition.
please email with any info.

ps. The type of system I have is an AMD386 40MHz with
floppy, hard disk controller and 2 serial, parallel, and game port on one card
a Western Digital Caviar 1.2Gig hard drive partition 300M dos and
rest freebsd2.1
SoundBlaster 2x CD on IDE interface card
US Robotics 14.4 fax/voice/modem
TEAC floppy tape drive using 3010 cartridges
8M Ram using 3 chip simms 32 pins 70ns.
pss. I am not sure if the hardware is defective, possibly the motherboard, but I have changed the hard disk floppy controller at least two times because It looked like whenever I tried to change IRQ settings for the com devices, they do not take effect. I don't really want to change all my hardware if I don't have to. In windows3.1 the system still works despite the com irq settinqs on the controller assuming everthing else is configured correctly.
