Kris ok. I didn't know that and should have read more carrefully :) but it doesn't matter since I realized I need the SCSI support. But for example, do I need to keep all the lines for the SCSI peripherals or can I keep just some of them. How to know if iPod need this one or this other line? ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: compile kernel problem
no, I don't think so. I read carefully the handbook's section and I quote it: SCSI controllers. Comment out any you do not have in your system. If you have an IDE only system, you can remove these altogether. SCSI peripherals. Again, comment out any you do not have, or if you have only IDE hardware, you can remove them completely. Supported RAID controllers. If you do not have any of these, you can comment them out on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html or remove them. first I didn't use my ipod so I removed all that lines and it didn't work. I don't think the number of commented lines is limited...am I wrong? Nevermind, the problem is solved since I compiled it succesfully just with RAID off. Now can somebody help me about configuring my kernel in a more personal way? I forgot to mention that I have two Ethernet cards on PCI slots and one on the motherboard. I also have a sound card. I hope I am not too boring. Just tell it if I am.

Re: compile kernel problem
I just try it again cause I didn't want to annoy anybody and it worked! (?) I left the SCSI lines cause I use an iPod (and it seems to be an SCSI drive inside). I commented all the RAID lines and compilation succeeded. Now can you tell me how to be sure that my kernel conf is optimized? I attached my actual kernel. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. my physical conf is: AMD Sempron 2400+ (slowed at 1333 MHz cause of only PC 2100 DDR) ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard asus DVD writer 80 GB maxtor HDD one floppy drive ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR VIVO (if VIVO is useable on freeBSD I'd like to know how :) I think I didn't forget anything.
