kldstat provides information about components that were loaded dynamically. If your kernel was built with INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE option (enabled by default in GENERIC), then you can see the static components using: config -x /boot/kernel/kernel See config(8) for more details. - Max _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
