Rebuilding kernel: ath_hal error
Hello there,
I'm trying to rebuild my kernel in order to include support for my Atheros wireless network card. This produces an error. Code:

Isn't there a module you can bind to the kernel with kldload(8)?
That way no kernel recompilation is needed

Dear cow killer
Next time, if you still have the GENERIC config file around, you could make things easier by showing a context diff instead of showing the complete configuration Code:
diff -u 'GENERIC-kernel.conf' 'mynewkernel.conf' Quote:

Irrelevant remarks, etc.
[irrelevant human primate crap]
May I decide what I want to do with FreeBSD and how I want to use it? Thank you. I drown in compilation error output, so how would I know what you in particular find relevant? [/irrelevant human primate crap] I already found out about AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 (I have no AR5416 though). The kernel compiles fine now but hangs half way through the booting process. Config diff: Code:

You realize that your posting on a forum, right?
|
|
|||
This forum is about FreeBSD
Is that at all relevant? This forum is about FreeBSD not about you nor me. Do you realise that perhaps I am a person with an autism spectrum disorder?
I ask a question and what do I get for an answer: don't build a specific kernel. I can not do anything useful with such an answer. I know why I ask what I ask. I just don't say things without reason. It's not logical to attack me as if I were a neurotypical person, which I am NOT. |

Nobody is attacking you and you surely have the right to run FreeBSD like you want to
Quote:
Most of them being new to FreeBSD, did not know that instead of recompiling a kernel to add support for a device, you also could load a kernel module to reach the same goal. That is the only reason why I pointed out the module load alternative. If you would have stated that you know of loadable modules, but preferred to compile support into the kernel, everybody would have known of your intention and not anybody would have suggested the module work-a-round. Re: your kernel hang Does the kernel display any message? If it does, what are the last messages the kernel displays? Or is it just a (temporary) hang during the startup scripts? Many times a tempory hang is caused by a failing forward or reverse DNS lookup. Quote:
You also have to be careful with disabling SCSI stuff, drivers for optical devices like CD use a SCSI emulation layer. Some more details, at least when the kernel displays something, would be helpful

I have included scbus and da because these are needed by umass (USB).

Wait a minute. I now saw this:

Exactly at the spot where my kernel hangs, the GENERIC kernel displays this message:

I found it myself! Wow, this part now works and I can boot FreeBSD-8.0 on my laptop, displaying nice fonts in a much nicer framebuffer window.
I now have a very slim and super speedy kernel. Dit is geil! |

Congratulations with your working kernel
Could you be so kind to post here the diff -u output of your working kernel config? That way others can learn from it too. You also could post some details about your laptop, (Manufacturer, model nr etc) and the complete dmesg output in our FreeBSD laptop discussion thread. RE: Autism Thank you for having the courage and guts to tell this. It indeed explains the little rough start here. Never mind, we cleared things up. Zand erover BTW The son of my sister-in-law, a very intelligent and smart boy has Aspenberger. Re: Speedy and lightweight kernel Are you ready for some surprising news? Some of the brightest in the BSD world have a different opinion. From the OpenBSD FAQ about custom kernels Quote:

Strange things are happening
Re: speedy kernel opinions
I just don't like loading stuff on my computer that I don't need. Whether or not it becomes faster by doing so, I wouldn't really know. I am not especially focused on: faster, better, more, etc. The point is that I like to control and understand what I'm doing and I like my own custom environment. Re: autism Actually it should be: Asperger's Syndrome (which is basically the same as: classical autism combined with a high IQ, although I am not particularly concerned about IQs because one can not directly measure people's actual intelligence and then express it using exact numbers). Besides, IQ is no measure at all for how well one performs in real life society and apart form that, there are many types of "IQ". Anyway ... Re: learning and wireless networking As soon as I have everything working the way it should (according to myself) I will post diff's, etc. Strange things still happen for now: With my newly built kernel in place I started working on the issue of wireless networking using the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook.

# ifconfig ath0 up scan I had to enter: Code:

This is diff -u (the other thing I posted earlier was dmesg) Quote:

Some reasons why it is forbidden to build a custom kernel:
* You do not need to, normally: but I want to learn and experiment. Define "normal". * You will not get a faster system: I don't care. Define "fast". * You are likely to make a less reliable machine: define "less reliable". * You will not get any support from developers: is that logical? * You will be expected to reproduce any problem with a GENERIC kernel before developers take any problem report seriously: I might be expected to fly to the moon as well before eating tofu :-)). * Users and developers will laugh at you when you break your system: is that "civilized"? * Custom compiler options usually do a better job of exposing compiler problems than improving system performance: then create a better compiler. |

You don't need to believe them You are using FreeBSD, which has a huge number of developers and resources compared with the much smaller OpenBSD project. Just compare the number of FreeBSD ports with the number of OpenBSD ports. The OpenBSD developers rather spend time on improving OpenBSD than solving custom kernel compilation problems on the mailing lists. In their opinion, decreasing kernel size is not relevant nowadays. People now have a couple of gigabytes of memory in their machines.
