When you are playing with fire or knocking away the ground under your feet you cannot blame i4b for this. I myself am using i4b on the server which I upgrade now and then. Presentently I'm using 4.2 (RELEASE though) (which I installed from a CD I burned from the iso-image from ftp.freebsd.org, btw.) Anyway, it happened to me last week that I was crazy enough to cvsup -current into that important server I'm using for i4b and I was off the net for two or three days (fortunately over the weekend and I had a parallel access which was still working). Interestingly enough that the problem I had was compiling a kernel and it was the mutex.h code that was currently being worked on that made kernel compilation break in the i4b area. Being aware of the dangers when doing this I don't complain loudly or blame i4b. That's unfair if not foolish. > > This you can see is from a fresh installed 4.2 release box after > updating with cvs. My current version is as following: > > uname -a My box (and I built a special kernel with i4b): FreeBSD isdn-kukulies.dialup.rwth-aachen.de 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #2: Mon Dec 11 10:59:51 CET 2000 kuku@isdn-kukulies.dialup.rwth-aachen.de:/usr/src/sys/compile/MONKAVMIFB i386 > > FreeBSD bastion.localhost 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #1: Tue Dec 12 19:03:586 > > Try it yourself! update your sources via cvs and try to get the i4b up > and running, i wish you a lot of fun -( Maybe you update (cvsup once more and the problem is gone). > > >> > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c: In function `avma1pp_attach_avma1pp': > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:628: warning: implicit declaration of funct > >> ion `DELAY' > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c: In function `avma1pp_hscx_intr': > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:866: warning: implicit declaration of funct > >> ion `IF_HANDOFF' > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c: In function `avma1pp_bchannel_setup': > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:1121: warning: implicit declaration of func > >> tion `mtx_init' > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:1121: structure has no member named `ifq_mt > >> x' > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:1121: `MTX_DEF' undeclared (first use in th > >> is function) > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:1121: (Each undeclared identifier is report > >> ed only once > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:1121: for each function it appears in.) > >> ../../i4b/layer1/ifpi/i4b_ifpi_pci.c:1136: structure has no member named `ifq_mt > >> x' > >> *** Error code 1 > >> > >> Any comments?
