The new kernel boots up but issues message 'sio0 not probed (Disabled)'. I need sio0 for a external modem so I started to test different kernels. I then booted using the kernel.GENERIC that comes with FBSD and the sio ports are probed ok. I them recompiled /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC original source creating a new generic kernel that should match the kernel.GENERIC. This new kernel also issues message 'sio0 not probed (Disabled)'. How can this be? Is not the kernel.GENERIC built from the GENERIC source? That's what the handbook says. The only change to the basic FBSD 4.4 install is I added boot_verbose="YES" statement to the loader.conf file so I would always get the verbose (detailed) boot messaged. This should be very easy for one of you FBSD experts to reproduce. Is there a bug in the make process for FBDS4.4, or is there wrong source definitions in the GENERIC source file?
