I performed a buildworld, installworld, etc. yesterday night with no problems. When I rebuilt my kernel, after having collected the appropriate hints for the system and modified my kernel configuration file appropriately, I had some trouble booting it. The loader would load the kernel into memory but when it was time to `boot' it, I was not able to see anything on the console, this includes the initial copyright message. Furthermore, my keyboard was unresponsive. However, I could tell that the kernel was booting nonetheless (even though I could not see it), judging by the hard disk drives' activity (and upon checking /var/log/messages after I booted with my previously saved kernel). I then decided to rebuild the kernel with the hints statically compiled in, and this worked fine, and the kernel booted properly. Note that I did not use any notable optimisation flag during the build, and that this is all on i386 architecture. However, I decided to build a kernel with profiling support this morning (config -p KERNEL, etc.), and I left the hints compiled in statically. The kernel built fine, but when it came time to boot it, again, no response from keyboard, nothing at the console. This time though, the kernel wasn't even booting. Has anybody noticed/tried this recently? Am I forgetting something?
