Never tried this, but surely will. The last time I compiled a kernel, I made a copy of GENERIC, edited the copy to only include what is really present on the system, and used KERNCONF with this file. So I "composed" a new file on the example of GENERIC. Of course I know that it's not possible to use a kernel config from 4.10 to build a kernel on 7.2, so caution is intended. :-) The benefit of "my" solution is that you are not depending on another file, or have to read it through in order to form the intended nodevice and nooption statements. Anyway, you have to review the file with each system update, to find out if something important changed (e. g. the default scheduler, as you mentioned). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The handbook, IMO, is wrong. The copy of GENERIC will in the course of upgrades deviate from the original one. You won't pick up improvements, like the scheduler change from 4BSD -> ULE What I do is include the GENERIC file and override things with nooption/nodevice directives.

Because it is more typing? One can actually put KERNCONF in /etc/src.conf. In fact, one can put multiple kernel files in KERNCONF and the first one in the list will be the one installed, all will be built. This is how I share kernels over nfs to multiple machines from one build machine by mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj on the target machines and just running make installkernel. The target machines have their kernelname set in their own /etc/src.conf. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Just to emphasise this point: look at the other kernel configs supplied with source. They tend to include GENERIC, and then have a small list of changed options.

Of course. /etc/rc.conf is "executed", in the normal way it is used it simply associates values to variables. If you would put echo "Get me beer!" into /etc/rc.conf, you would see this message. So what you did: You executed kldload snd_hda="YES" which you could also have tried the same command at the command line (sh). > Indeed. But it does not load snd_hda Of course not. You could put kldload snd_hda.ko into /etc/rc.conf, but that isn't the way such things are done. > None. No driver. Always have to add it manually. Which would not work if the driver was actually compiled int the kernel. Example: I have compiled snd_cmi and sound into my kernel. So my kldstat looks like this: # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 13 0xc040 6959cc kernel 21 0xc0a96000 683b4acpi.ko If I now try to load the snd_cmi kernel module, this happens: # kldload snd_cmi.ko kldload: can't load snd_cmi.ko: File exists This indicates that the driver is already present. It has been preloaded by the kernel (it is IN the kernel), so it cannot be loaded by kldload. So if you ARE able to kldload the module, it hasn't been in the kernel (or at least not loaded).

Nowhere did I see a reference to read the man page for the sound driver, nor an example of how to install it in the kernel. I did, eventually, find an example of how to install via the kernel by Googling for it. I believe that the Handbook should be somewhat more specific though in this area. In any case, thanks for all those who took the time to reply. -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I have this: # Sound device sound device snd_cmi As far as I know, both "sound" and "snd_*" for your particular hardware is needed in the kernel configuration file. I'm not sure if only "device sound" is sufficient and / or will load snd_* required automatically. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Compiling in sound driver in kernel
This is my first attempt to compile in a driver in a new kernel I am attempting to build. Using loader.conf, I have the 'snd_hda' driver presently being loaded. I want to compile it directly into the kernel. I tried this: device snd_hda # Sound driver Unfortunately, the kernel will not build. What is the proper way to build a kernel with sound embedded into it? Thanks! -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
