Hello, I just installed FreeBSD, and I need to rebuild the kernal in order to get the system to recognize my PS/2-style mouse. Unfortunately, when I follow the instructions in the manual it 'makes' for quite awhile then quits with: loading kernel machdep.o: Undefined symbol '_netisr_set' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 Stop # Another problem I have is that mtools isn't working correctly, so I can't attach a copy of MYKERNAL (configuration file) with this, but it is an exact copy of the GENERIC file sup- plied with the system with everything I don't have commented out. Also, I made sure that the lines: device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr options PSM_CHECKSYNC were in the file. Any suggestions? Is there anything else I need to do to get it to see my mouse? By the way, I like FreeBSD (even though I can't get it working on my system, I tried it in school), but in 'The Complete FreeBSD' the statement is made "It is probably easier to install FreeBSD than any other PC operating system..." Given that it requires recompiling the kernel just to get it to recognize a fairly common type of mouse, I don't agree with that statement. Oh one more thing - can you recommend a currently (and commonly) available video card that works with XF86? I had to put BSD on my old 486 because the card in my new computer isn't supported. Anyway, thanks for your help. BTW, my system is a 486, 2 IDE (no EIDE), 2 floppies, Matsushita CD (works fine), nothing else. With best wishes, Ken Deboy Plocked@Greatbasin.com
