----- Original Message ----- From: <todorov@space.com> To: <freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 9:27 PM Subject: Kernel compilation problems > I've got FreeBSD 4.3 stable installed, and I've compiled my kernel 2 times, upgrading from 4.1 release. When I wanted to compile just the kernel to include lpt support, i've encountered some errors. First, there are two kernel options that i cannot figure why don't seem to work when trying to configure the kernel ( in fact, that is after cvsupping), > [...] > options ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA > [...] That option has been removed from the kernel config (sadly, it's STILL not mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING). dma ist now default on for ata-devices (i.e. harddisks) and off for atapi devices (cd-roms etc.). You can change this behaviour by setting variables in /boot/loader.conf (i.e. hw.ata.atapi.dma="1" enables dma for atapi devices). The full list of available loader options and sysctl variables for ata can be found in the ata manpage (man 4 ata). If you are stuck in the upgrading process and cannot access the new manpages yet, it's also available at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpa th=FreeBSD+4.3-RELEASE&format=html Greetings, Michael Nottebrock To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
