Dag, I looked through all my older messages, I couldn't see where I'd given you the misimpression about stuff stopping working when I made my first kernel. Teh target then was to maintain booting, which it did, and I don't remember anything specific that stopped working. The sound, for instance, didn't work before, and also didn't immediately work thereafter. The only striking change, beyond jumping to current, was the uname print, and the sudden jarring cessation of all the boot messages (that, I could hardly have missed, it worried me more than a little at first, I though the machine had hung during boot!) Anyhow, I don't have that first config file. I have the one I'm using now, so in the assumption that you would like to see that, I'm going to paste it at the end. The only thing that I can comment on, so far, is that my motherboard hasn't got any serial devices, no uarts, so I don't have any ttyd0 device, and that's (I think) why it doesn't show up on any conscontrol listing. Is there a better device to have set up, as my console output? Note that my kernel config file has the sc (syscons, right?) device, in case either I have done that wrong, or maybe it might mean I should spec some specific device to conscontrol. #cpu I486_CPU #cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU ident APRIL # To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints hints "APRIL.hints" # Default places to look for devices. makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET # InterNETworking options INET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options SCTP # Stream Control Transmission Protocol options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options UFS_GJOURNAL # Enable gjournal-based UFS journaling options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options NFSSERVER # Network Filesystem Server options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCLIENT options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_PART_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization options COMPAT_43TTY # BSD 4.3 TTY compat [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev #options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. options STOP_NMI # Stop CPUS using NMI instead of IPI options AUDIT # Security event auditing # Debugging for use in -current options KDB # Enable kernel debugger support. options DDB # Support DDB. options GDB # Support remote GDB. options KSE #options INVARIANTS # Enable calls of extra sanity checking #options INVARIANT_SUPPORT # Extra sanity checks of internal structures, required by INVARIANTS #options WITNESS # Enable checks to detect deadlocks and cycles #options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN # Don't run witness on spinlocks for speed # To make an SMP kernel, the next two lines are needed options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel device apic # I/O APIC # CPU frequency control device cpufreq # Bus support. device eisa device pci # Floppy drives device fdc # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device ataraid # ATA RAID drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives device atapist # ATAPI tape drives options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering # SCSI Controllers # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device da # Direct Access (disks) #device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device cd # CD device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) device ses # SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE) # RAID controllers interfaced to the SCSI subsystem device twa # 3ware 9000 series PATA/SATA RAID # RAID controllers device twe # 3ware ATA RAID # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer device vga # VGA video card driver #device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc options MAXCONS=8 options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=256 device agp # support several AGP chipsets # Power management support (see NOTES for more options) #device apm # Add suspend/resume support for the i8254. device pmtimer # PCCARD (PCMCIA) support # PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support #device cbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge device pccard # PC Card (16-bit) bus device cardbus # CardBus (32-bit) bus # Serial (COM) ports device sio # 8250, 16[45]50 based serial ports device uart # Generic UART driver # Parallel port device ppc device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer device plip # TCP/IP over parallel device ppi # Parallel port interface device #device vpo # Requires scbus and da # If you've got a "dumb" serial or parallel PCI card that is # supported by the puc(4) glue driver, uncomment the following # line to enable it (connects to sio, uart and/or ppc drivers): #device puc # PCI Ethernet NICs. device le # AMD Am7900 LANCE and Am79C9xx PCnet # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code. # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs!
