Thank you very much for your kindness of compiling it for me. I appreciate it highly. > The already enabled have been: > > WARNING: duplicate option `GEOM_LABEL' encountered. > WARNING: duplicate option `GEOM_PART_BSD' encountered. > WARNING: duplicate option `GEOM_PART_EBR' encountered. > WARNING: duplicate option `GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT' encountered. > WARNING: duplicate option `GEOM_PART_GPT' encountered. > WARNING: duplicate option `GEOM_PART_MBR' encountered. Thanks. BTW, I saw that these were already compiled as modules, not built in the kernel. > Would you mind to test whether this kernel will work for you ? Sorry for not replying promptly, but my wife didn't let me work on that yesterday, but I got some time to test it, yes. Unfortunately, the results were the same. Seeing as what I got was the same thing, I figured it out that it would be a good thing to explain better what the hardware is (just a quick reminder, this is a *real* kFreeBSD installation, not a virtual machine). * I put various stuff (dmesg logs, outputs of lspci invoked with many levels of verbosity, output of dmidecode etc) on this file: http://rb.doesntexist.org/debian/kfreebsd-logs.tar.bz2 * I also tried to boot the system with kfreebsd-7 with the -v option passed to the kernel, but there were so many messages that filled the dmesg buffer and only part of them are included in the logs above. * I also took many pictures of the screen of the system booted with the kfreebsd-8 kernel that you posted, but I did not upload them yet (will do so ASAP). If any further information is needed, please let me know and I will do my best to get as much information as possible. I want to get kFreeBSD running smoothly with as many *real* installations as I can, so that we can have a solid release. I have at least 3 other notebooks where I can trash their installation and get things working, but let's proceed one with one step at a time. :-) And, if it is not obvious yet, , *YES*, I do care about the platform. :-) Regards, -- Rogério Brito : rbr...@{mackenzie,ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
