I suspect that there is something wrong with the board that I'm using (its from Hyundia -- if anyone has had luck or problems with these please let me know). I have a question about the AHA kernel that comes on the kernel copy disk: If I build a kernel using the GENERICAHA config file (stock - no mods), should I get EXACTLY the same kernel that was installed on my system? I used the kc-*aha* kernel copy disk. Assuming of course that I use the stock tools that come with netbsd-09. The problem that I have is this: when I use the stock kernel swapinfo gives some useful information. When I use a kernel that I built, swapinfo freaks out, its right after some system call (I don't remember the exact message). If I do have a problem with my board could some one give me some pointers on where to look? Its a 486dx2 with on board ide and serial and super vga controllers. BTW, I tried disabling both the internal and external cache and it made no diff. Any suggestions on the kind of problems that I should consider? Hmm. It just occured to me that it might be something simple. I name the new kernel /netbsd_test . And I enter that when the system asks me what kernel to boot. Would this cause and problems? I hope /netbsd is not hard coded into anything. Thanks for any info. -Ram -- -------------- Ram Bhamidipaty use this ->ram@epidat.epi.wisc.edu Department of Preventive Medicine or this->ram%epidat.decnet@macc.wisc.edu University of Wisconsin, Madison Ignore the header.
