Linux/alpha uses the same ABI as OSF/1 for a number of functions, since they bootstrapped themselves from OSF/1 on alpha and never bothered to go fully native. This ABI is already provided by our osf1.ko module. The problem is that the osf1.ko module is SUPPOSED to be automatically loaded as a dependancy of the linux module. I've asked the person who wrote the module dependancy code for help on this, but he's moved on to other things and has never answered. If somebody wants to look into this, that would be great. I've never been able to figure it out. Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
