--- Begin Message ---Package: kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64 Version: 8.1-5 Severity: normal Sometimes extra modules are needed for boot. This is more common on GNU/Linux, where most filesystem drivers are split into modules. These modules reside in /boot (inside initrd) so that GRUB can load them. In general, there's no garantee that / will be readable by GRUB, as some setups (e.g. crypto or unsupported filesystems) may prevent that. Since kFreeBSD doesn't support initrd [1], the FreeBSD system installs all kernel modules in /boot, to ensure their loader will be capable of loading them in case they're necessary for bootstrap. acpi.ko used to be a typical example of this. With a ZFS root, GRUB needs to be able to load zfs.ko and opensolaris.ko in order to boot your kernel. Usually this is no problem because GRUB supports ZFS, but some ZFS features (gzip compression, or volume arrays) or other conditions (encrypted volumes) are not yet supported. The usual workaround is to create two boot partitions instead of one: one for /boot and one for /lib/modules. A simpler solution would be to install zfs.ko and opensolaris.ko in /boot/kfreebsd-${version}/ or such, and turn their old paths in /lib/modules into symlinks. update-grub will then adjust grub.cfg appropiately to load these modules from their real location. [1] well, it does, but without pivot_root() it can't be used in this way. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: kFreeBSD 8.1-1-amd64 Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64 depends on: ii freebsd-utils 8.1-2 FreeBSD utilities needed for GNU/k ii kldutils 8.1-2 tools for managing kFreeBSD module kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64 recommends no packages. kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Version: 8.3-7+rm kfreebsd-8 is no longer in Debian, I'm therefore closing the remaining bug reports. If the bug is still present in the current versions (kfreebsd-10 and kfreebsd-11), feel free to reopen and reassign or file a new bug report. Andreas
