Would there be any reasons not to? Anything above -O -pipe is not offically supported. While you didn't give your optimization level, it's probably -O2 or so, and that has burned people in the past who built their kernels as such. So the offical answer is no, you can't do that. But the unoffical answer is if it works for you, count your blessings and continue. But when something breaks, before you complain with a problem, go back and compile your kernel with no more than -O -pipe. -- Dan Papasian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "How are we to distinguish the difference between reality and dream?

Re: Burned by config changes?
What optimizations did you use when compiling your kernel? (COPTFLAGS) If it's anything more than -O -pipe, then that may very well be your problem. -Dan On Tue, Jul 11, 2000 at 09:28:44PM -0400, Patrick Gardella wrote: I've somehow been burned by the config changes when I build world yesterday. The build went fine, and then I followed the instructions on: http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/config-upd.html But when I rebooted, it freezes right when I type "boot". Typing "boot -v" does not reveal anything more. I've gone in with an old kernel which lets me boot, and tried building a new GENERIC one, with no luck. It freezes at the same place. I have in place my /boot/device.hints, and it looks right. Any pointers to get the system back up and running? (I do have a backup, but I'd rather learn how to fix this!)

Re: Help! can't 'startx' - missing libc.so
This would probably be more appropriate on -questions. I take it the problem started when you updated? Sounds like you may need to recompile your X server or install compat3x (the latter is the sane choice) -Dan On Sun, Jun 25, 2000 at 11:46:24PM -0400, John Daniels wrote: Hi: I am using 4.0-STABLE John Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: HEADS UP: Destabilization due to SMP development
Eivind Elkund was talking about doing something like this. He had a pretty nice document about it, too. If I recall, the name was "OVCS: Open Version Control System" Perhaps someone could fill in the blanks? I couldn't find the document at the address I thought it was kept, http://yes.no/perhaps/ I don't believe he had any code the last time we talked about it. I do recall reading that he's using his time off to work on OVCS. While I still don't think he has anything usable, you'd want to get in touch with him to reduce duplicated effort. -Dan On Wed, Jun 21, 2000 at 09:59:25PM +0200, Brad Knowles wrote: At 9:34 PM +0200 2000/6/21, Soren Schmidt wrote: Using a non opensource commercial version control system is just to ask for bad carma, extended murphy fields and whatnot in an opensource volounteer project...

I'm also running UDMA66 and Dual Celeron BP6. No overclocking. Can you people reproduce this on a kernel without SMP enabled? Perhaps there is a locking issue? However, that'd lead to a panic I'd imagine.. So see if you can reproduce this with one CPU running so we can at least eliminate one of the variables. -Dan Papasian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: current lockups
1. Is your computer overclocked? 2. Is the computer totally frozen? (i.e. scroll lock doesn't turn the light on) 3. Does similar load crash the box as well? (try make -j2 world) 4. Does it freeze in the same spot? 5. Is the computer not responding to pings? If you've answered yes to a good amount of these questions, there is a good chance that your processor(s) are overheating. Try improving the airflow to the case (But using a household fan isn't recommended due to EMI) -Dan Papasian [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, Mar 04, 2000 at 11:50:10PM -0800, Arun Sharma wrote: Compiling Mozilla with make -j 2 got -current to lock up, twice in succession.

Re: /usr/ports/ too big?
An even more radical approach, and more controversial, would be to remove /usr/ports entirely and use the concept of source packages. pkg_add -r aumix would install the binary, and something along the lines of: pkg-source_add -r aumix would download the source, patches, and whatever else needed. Considering most of us out there, myself included, have fallen madly in love with ports the way it is, I doubt that the current system won't go away for a long, long time. -Dan Papasian [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, Feb 09, 2000 at 09:58:06PM +0100, Kai Voigt wrote: Hello, I'm just doing a cvsup update of my system and -as many times before- I realize that /usr/ports/ takes a lot of time and also disk space to sync. # du -sk /usr/ports 71118 /usr/ports Am I the only one being little annoyed by this fact? Would it make any sense to offer some "castrated" ports repository. Like putting a target "overview" into each /usr/ports/*/Makefile to list all available subdiretories. Then, with some other command, one could fetch the current port's directory from the cvs server to install the port. Do these thoughts make any sense?
