Default sysctl: third level name kern.emul.linux in kern.emul is invalid

Hi everybody !

Running :
Code:
kern.version=OpenBSD 5.4-current (GENERIC.MP) #70: Tue Oct  1 12:57:28 MDT 2013
    deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP
After installing fedora_base , I got :
Code:
sysctl: third level name kern.emul.linux in kern.emul is invalid
Use of uninitialized value $actual in scalar chomp at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/Add.pm line 324.
Use of uninitialized value $actual in string eq at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/Add.pm line 325.
How can I enable linux emulation?

...& have you done any search of the documentation?

Read Section 9.4 of the FAQ.

Hi ocicat !
Yes I used to do that before this very upgrade took place .. Now after reboot I still have :

Code:
sysctl: third level name kern.emul.linux in kern.emul is invalid
when I issue sysctl kern.emul.linux=1

sysctl -a doesn't have a kern.emul.linux variable .. I only have that in my /etc/sysctl.conf

compat_linux(8) has been disabled in the GENERIC (and therefore GENERIC.MP) i386 kernel due to the time_t change. Apparently, there were problems.

There's more in this thread -- specifically, this comment from Philip Guenther (guenther@), who committed the GENERIC patch.

Quote:
...compat_linux needs further fixes to get it working again after the time_t bump. If linux compat is a "must have" then you'll need to run 5.4-release for now.
5.4-release is not yet supported. Support is expected to begin upon release, on or about 1 November 2013.
