Hi: I rebuilt the kernel with "option IPX", but it didn't seem to work. Below was what I did: 1) create a new configure file IPXKERNEL enabling "option IPX" freebsd-yc# cat /sys/i386/conf/IPXKERNEL include GENERIC ident IPXKERNEL options IPX 2) make buildkerel KERNCONF=IPXKERNEL. When finised, I found that the ipx source code did get compiled, but hadn't been linked into a kernel module. freebsd-yc# find /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ | grep ipx /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/arcnet/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/if_ef/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/if_tun/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/netgraph/iface/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/sppp/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/wlan/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/opt_ipx.h /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx_cksum.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx_input.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx_outputfl.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx_pcb.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx_proto.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL/ipx_usrreq.o 3) Still I installed the new kernel with "make installkernel KERNCONF=IPXKERNEL", and as expected, it was exactly the same to the old one. freebsd-yc# ls /boot/kernel > kernel.txt freebsd-yc# ls /boot/kernel.old/ > kernelold.txt freebsd-yc# diff kernel.txt kernelold.txt So do you have any idea about this? The information of my system is: freebsd-yc# uname -a FreeBSD freebsd-yc.vm 8.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 15 11:20:49 CST 2012 [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IPXKERNEL i386 Thanks, YC Wang _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
