[osol-discuss] opensolaris kernel build and cpu-specific files

2007-12-04 Thread Mladen Nikitovic
Hi, I'm a real novice when it comes to building kernels. Therefore, my question might seem simple but the solution is not obvious to me. I'm compiling the opensolaris kernel source and I'm wondering if there is a documented mapping between the hardware I'm compiling on and the cpu-specific fi

Thats my current approach. By using a kernel module there are even less occasions where the whole kernel need to be compiled. But still, it hurts to wait on those occasions :) Thanks for all your help. /M This message posted from opensolaris.org _

Hi Shawn, Thank you for the info, did not know that the build system had so little opportunities for distribution. Unfortunately, this is the most "powerful" hardware I have available here, so I will have to make use of it. The only upgrade I can do additionally is to add another 512MB to one

Hi, I have a dvd-image of the desired build, but infortunately the machine I'm working with does only have a cd-player and no internet connection (of course :). Is it possible to split up the dvd-image and still make the installation work? If yes, can I use a ordinary splitting software or do
