I don't change change my mind (this change is not needed), but here is yet another aspects. jkh> Agreed - vnconfig is supposed to load the vn module and does, jkh> at least, in -current. However, this commit maybe assumes that if somebody want to do "make release" of 5-current with 4-stable of /usr/src (oops, I have a mistake in previous mail). Under such situation, vn module of 4-stable should be loaded; but vnconfig(8) runs under chroot environment which is maybe 5-current world. You know, loading vn.ko of *5-current* to *4-stable kernel should fail. To ensure vn device is available on *running* kernel, it should be done at the outside of vnconfig(8) or whatever tool which try to load vn module. In this commit, kick kldload(8) at the begginning of 'release' target to do that. But wait, wait a minute... If you wanna say "make release", you already know about that an exciting, cool, and misterious world is there. Why not adding vn_load="YES" to your loader.conf and reboot ? our gretest FICL interpreter will guide you to a door to the world. Why not making a shell script to kick vnconfig(8) before running make release ? you may also want to add "cd /usr/src; make buildworld" before loading vn module. In any cases, no problems found :-) *** BTW, are there any documents about "how-to make your own release?" I've read handbook, but there are nothing mentioned although there is a chapter about "make buildworld/installworld." -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
