ww: hiya. anyone have a good kernel config for freebsd 8.1?
i can't seem to get the aic scsi driver disabled...
if i try, make depend gives me: ../aicasm/aicasm:Permission denied
nesta: make depend?
ww: e.g. config MYCONF && cd ../compile/MYCONF && make cleandepend depend all install
nesta: oofa
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html
ww: well... just building the kernel, not the whole system
nesta: make buildkernel KERNCONF=NAME && make installkernel KERNCONF=NAME
reboot
voila
ww: verramos...
nesta: you really won't gain much by removing tons of stuff from your config imo.. I have goten my conf down to 80 odd lines before but its just a bit silly with a vps imo
nonetheless I know the urge for fiddling
:P

nesta: make sure to cp your kernel config file to /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
and cd /usr/src prior to the above steps
teurastaja: freebsd?
just got the last 2 lines
nesta: it was intended for ww
:)
teurastaja: what steps?
nesta: building kernels
teurastaja: i actually wrote an entire custom guide + wrote the kernel config file for a guy on irc and he hasnt used it yet....
nesta: lol
yeah
it happens
teurastaja: with focus on performance and safety

ww: nesta: thanks, seems to be going better now...
shame they couldn't have kept the old style build working ...
teurastaja: i previously wrote a parser for him (which he used though)
the old style should work for parts of the tree
ww: teurastaja: removing the aic scsi driver, then doing "config MYCONF && cd ../compile/MYCONF && make cleandepend depend all"
seems to break on the "depend" part
teurastaja: i had problems with the aic driver previously (first time i actually built a kernel)
ww: looking for some program related to aic...
teurastaja: its a config problem

ww: teurastaja: i started here by asking if someone has a good config already for the arpnetworks boxes :P
teurastaja: youre including an unwanted option which makes depends that arent needed and breaks it (probably)
pastebin
i know nothing of arpnetworks i thought id slip in to spy on the channel
next thing i know its freebsd talk
pastebin; i think i know the problem (if you dont need aic (confirm))
ww: don't need aic... just moving the config around to where i can bin it
teurastaja: does it fail on aicasm depends?
ww: something like that
http://pastebin.ca/1963999
teurastaja: first time building a kernel?
ww: on this host, yes
but; using make buildkernel seems to wokr properly...
teurastaja: include generic, comment out whats needed and negate unwanted options (style and ease style)
ww: >>> Kernel build for RIVER completed on Sat Oct 16 15:15:14 CEST 2010
teurastaja: removing reverse compat is not recommended
various parts still depend on old stuff
ww: I thought that was mostly for binary compatibility - surely the freebsd tree itself is up to date with its own abi?
teurastaja: aic shouldnt cause problems with this config file
not for some semaphores and fancy uncommon stuff thats well hidden and you never hear about
brb (10 minutes)
keep reverse compat (strong suggestion)
ww: ok...
teurastaja: at least keep compat for 7
to avoid bad surprises
ww: well it's not a particularly expensive thing to keep... in terms of kernel size or compile time
so may as well
teurastaja: you should also take the time to read /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/NOTES for some useful optimisations
im back
do you really need kbdmux?
is your mouse a ps.2 mouse?
*ps/2
how is kbd plugged?
ww: psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
not that i need support for a mouse at all
... just the minimal console in case of some sort of big problem... even then when they add my ssh key i'll make a serial console so could actually disable all of that scons stuff
teurastaja: i disabled psm, atkbd, atkbdc and enabled ukbd
but i have usb mouse and kbd

ww: do we have local ntp servers at arpnetworks?
fink: ww: yes, i was wondering this
