Hi, Anyone is aware of such a strange (?) behavior? When I am removing the sl pseudo-device from the kernel config file I am getting strange results printing files (at least .ps files like tiger.ps from gs examples). The printing is fine if I am putting the sl pseudo-device back in the kernel. I use FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE on a Pentium III 450 with i440 BX motherboard. I'm not changing anything in BIOS when I use the two kernels! Here is my config file (tested on 8 different machines) with slighty different hardware configs. # # BOLTZMANN # machine "i386" #cpu "I386_CPU" #cpu "I486_CPU" #cpu "I586_CPU" cpu "I686_CPU" ident BOLTZMANN maxusers 32 #options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] #options MFS #Memory Filesystem #options MFS_ROOT #MFS usable as root device, "MFS" req'ed options NFS #Network Filesystem options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device, "NFS" req'ed options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options "CD9660" #ISO 9660 Filesystem options "CD9660_ROOT" #CD-ROM usable as root.
