Hi,
Just an inocent question! I've just customized the Generic Kernel corresponding
to the FreeBSD release 3.2, which was running without any problems on my
SIEMENS Primergy with 2 CPUs Intel Pentium II @ 450MHz, Intel 82440GX chipset
with ISA bridge, 512 MB RAM, a couple of 9 GB SCSI disks, Ultra 2 SCSI
controller SYMBIOS 53C895, SCSI cdrom NEC, SCSI HP dat C1537, ...
On a copy of the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file, that named MYKERNELL,
I've enabled exactly the options described on
http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/getstarted.html ,
where the SMP options are detailed, and then followed the steps described on the
online handbook: ... handbook/kernelconfig-building.html , namely,
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
# make depend
# make
# make install
to build and install the new customized kernel, which was succesfully done.
Then, after rebooting normally, I've had a look at the new /kernel file,
11,010,322 bytes long versus the /kernel.old with only 2,329,748 bytes long.
My question is: is it normal??
Thanks in advance for your help!!
