Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->newton Word is that Mr. Newton is knowledgeable in this area In PR conf/26215, you wrote: > Release > FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 Are you sure about this? svr4 wasn't released until 4.0. At the time it was released, the module was loaded from rc.i386, and it used the svr4(8) script in the manner you've suggesed in the fix attached to conf/26215. Sheldon Hearn did a rearrangement of rc and rc.i386 on 18 Aug 2000, when he moved svr4 and linux into /etc/rc and used kldload to load them instead of the svr4 script. At a similar time, it was noted that the module dependency system was able to work out that svr4 required stremas, and the /usr/sbin/svr4 shell script was removed. The fact that you've said you're running 3.3-RELEASE leaves me wondering which version you're *really* running -- If it really is 3.3-RELEASE, then you'll be using the old LKM interface, and "kldload svr4" in /etc/rc won't really be appropriate, but you'd know that anyway because you're well-versed enough in rocket-science to run the module on an unsupported OS :-) If you're really running 4.x, then this PR should be a non-event on a recent enough -current (say, 18 Aug 2000) because modules understand how to load their own dependencies. If you don't believe that's the case, I'll blow the dust off my test box and put today's -current on it and work outwhere the problem lies, but I believe it should be a non-event. If your 4.x is older than that, you might have problems because module dependencies weren't quite working the way they do now. If that's the case, then yes, the suggested fix is correct. So -- Can you please let me know what version of FreeBSD you're running? That's really what I need to work out what (if anything) needs to be committed to fix this. - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, newton@atdot.dotat.org but it hurt when I walked.
