Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 09:48:35 +0200 From: Stefan Eggers Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! I just tried to compile a small -current kernel (source is from early July) for my 386/33 (where I intend to test swapoff). While doing so I commented out the pseudo device loop by accident but kept sl and discovered it won't finish the kernel generation. sl is - besides lp - the only network interface I left in it. The problem is that it needs sys/net/if_loop.c - specifically simloop in there but that config didn't include in the generated Makefile. Should it - despite being a strange configuration - in theory compile?
