Carefully read the kernel config file and man pages. For example there is mainbus. mainbus0 is installed on root, therefore the config line looks like mainbus0 at root Then there is bios. Where is the bios? Sure it's on the mainbus, the config line then will look like bios0 at mainbus0 It means that bios depends on the mainbus. Further, there is acpi installed on bios, i.e. acpi depends on bios, thus the config line looks like acpi0 at bios? All this together looks beautifully like: mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0 acpi0 at bios? Do you see this beautiful harmony of the UNIX music? :) Moreover there are manual pages for all these devices: man mainbus man bios man acpi and so forth... and in the man pages you can see such recommendations as, for example SEE ALSO apm(4), intro(4) which you can admit as a cross reference (to a possible dependency).

USB WD HDD 1.5Tb read/write for files larger than 2048mb
Gentlemen. I'm puzzled. I had been solving an issue for some time yesterday and today, solved it but there has arisen a bigger question than I actually had during the solving. Yesterday I reinstalled the system on my Lenovo G565. I had some big movie files, development directories and so on which I decided to store all temporarily on my 1.5Tb USB WD HDD. I just copied to that USB HDD all those files, 3, 4, 2.5 Gb and the like, without any problem. After I've got through the installation and configuration procedure of the new system, I mounted back the USB HDD and started copying back those big files (I mean first of all the files bigger than 2048mb), but none of them would. The copy procedure stuck on the mark of 2048mb with an error couldn't find the source file and wouldn't go further. The error popped up both by copying in midnight commander and by the cp command; the kernel was the default vendor kernel. Today I rebuilt the kernel and the issue - well - it just dissipated... Is there anybody to happen to know which option from the kernel configuration influences on resolving this issue with the USB port? Thanks for help in clearing it out.

USB WD HDD 1.5Tb read/write for files larger than 2048mb
Gentlemen. I'm puzzled. I had been solving an issue for some time yesterday and today, solved it but there has arisen a bigger question than I actually had during the solving. Yesterday I reinstalled the system on my Lenovo G565. I had some big movie files, development directories and so on which I decided to store all temporarily on my 1.5Tb USB WD HDD. I just copied to that USB HDD all those files, 3, 4, 2.5 Gb and the like, without any problem. After I've got through the installation and configuration procedure of the new system, I mounted back the USB HDD and started copying back those big files (I mean first of all the files bigger than 2048mb), but none of them would. The copy procedure stuck on the mark of 2048mb with an error couldn't find the source file and wouldn't go further. The error popped up both by copying in midnight commander and by the cp command; the kernel was the default vendor kernel. Today I rebuilt the kernel and the issue - well - it just dissipated... Is there anybody to happen to know which option from the kernel configuration influences on resolving this issue with the USB port? Thanks for help in clearing it out.
