If I try to load aoe.ko with kload aoe or /etc/rc.d/aoe start I got: link_elf: symbol IFP2ENADDR undefined This is FreeBSD 7.2. Do I need support for linux emulation?

On Fri, May 01, 2009 at 11:25:03AM +0200, Matthias Teege spake thusly: > Is it possible to boot FreeBSD from AoE target? Does FreeBSD have some sort of initrd system like Linux does? I imagine it must have. I have Linux booting from AoE by PXE booting a kernel and initrd. The initrd loads the aoe module and sets up any necessary networking to make the AoE root fs accessable and then continues with the normal boot process. I bet FreeBSD can do similar. You will probably have to make the FreeBSD initrd yourself just like I did for Linux. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org pgpQQdDmn49j2.pgp Description: PGP signature -- Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
